In life Eugene was known for his humor and quick wit, which has been passed down to his children and grandchildren. He also had a love for music and sang and played guitar at every family reunion or would just randomly pick up his guitar and play. He loved spending time with family and friends and loved his grandchildren dearly, they were his pride and joy. He also loved to play and trivia game and yes loved watching Jeopardy. He wasn’t wrong very often in that aspect and made everyone who knew him NOT want to play against him.

Eugene was also an avid sports fan, baseball especially. He was possibly the Yankees biggest fan hands down with Yankees and baseball memorabilia that could have at one point rivaled that of Cooperstown. He also enjoyed watching football and was a big Steelers fan. He was possibly the Refs biggest critic when it came to calling the games, which all football fans can relate.

Funeral arrangements will be handled by the Harland Funeral Home. There will be a grave side service at 11am on Saturday July 30th at St. Peter and Paul Cemetery in Moriah NY. Following the service there will be a celebration of life at the Knights of Columbus from noon to 3. In lieu of flowers please make a donation to a local animal shelter or ASPCA in Eugene’s honor.
