I remember Eugene as being a very special Uncle to me. He always greeted me warmly, with a smile and nice things to say. I will never forget when I was 19, Eugene and Ruthann came to see our band perform. A very kind and loving soul to all. He will be missed. The world would be a much better place with more like him. Ruthann, Marty, Greg, Jeff and Gene, I am so sorry for your loss. I wish I could be there. Our Savior has welcomed him home along with family that has passed. Family is forever.
