Eugene always put family first. He was very proud of his family and instilled the importance of family into his children and all those he knew. He grew up with a love of classic cars, especially his ‘69 Super Bee and Duster. He was a hands on man who liked to tinker around and build things, encouraging his family to join in and learn. He was a very dedicated hard worker and mentor. He always enjoyed life full of jokes and pulling pranks on people. In his down time he enjoyed binging some tv and hanging out with his boys Blackie and Burkley.

Eugene will be deeply missed by his wife, children and grandchilden.
