Evan Chugg was a Senior Technician when I was a trainee technician at Birkenhead Exchange in the mid 1980's. He had also been at Devonport Exchange.I remember Evan as a man who was free to pass on knowledge. He had a great sense of humour. I still love to tell the story about how when a load of us from Birkenhead Exchange had gone paintballing. I had bruises on my leg but Evan had bruises all over his forehead.Before this weekend he had always seemed quite serious to me but he was very competitive at paintball!
When I worked in EAS/DOC, Evan worked in the OSC. It was no surprise he was there-this small team of men were the bloody clever guys who pedantically worked out the difficult faults on the NEAX switches.
Years later after moving close to Birkenhead I ran into Evan again at the shopping centre periodically. It was lovely to see him and talk about old Post Office/Telecom memories. I will miss these chats.
Condolences to Evan's family.

I worked closely with Evan @ Telecom. Intelligent, knowledgeable and precise in his ways; the guy you would want in your trivial persuit team. R.I.P. Evan

Evan was a very valued member of the Northcote Birkenhead Yacht Club committee for many years - bringing his knowledge and skills to planning and coordinating races, upgrading the race management equipment and setting up a points system so that handicaps could be calculated by computer for an event and for a series. Evan made sure that everything that was needed was available - whether it was race flags, VHF charging stations, or whatever - he just quietly and efficiently bought or made it and installed it.

He was a very reliable, organized and knowledgeable officer of the day for many NBYC races and also for the Idle Along Regattas during the 1990s and into the 2000s.
Evan was also noted for the sterling work he did every year for the keeler races, particularly the Reactor and Variant series. In later years he ran the classic keeler series. His knowledge of the rules was impressive and he could expound at length on the finer points

In recognition of his services to the club, Evan was made a life member.

He left a strong legacy as a great supporter and colleague at the NBYC.

The NBYC and the IA Association pass on their condolences to Evan's family.

My memories of Evan was he had a dry sense of humour and was a tall quietish pleasant sort of guy very ready to assist anyone if help was needed.

I remember Evan Chugg worked in Post Office/ Telecom OSC- Operations Support Centre on the ground floor of Turner St in the Auckland CBD in the late 80's on NEAX software and support. Was a good guy to work with (we were DOC/ANC/AANC/area control upstairs from OSC), so had the pleasure of working with him from time to time.

As a child I lived opposite Evan in Riverview Road. Bronwyn and I were friends and I also spent time with Owen and Evan. It was a happy and innocent era where children could be free to play outdoors with their friends without fear. I have never forgotten those early friendships wirh the three of you.

I was very sad to hear of Evan's passing and I send all my best wishes go to Owen, Bronwyn and their families.
