Extending our sympathy to all of the Green family at this time of sadness and remembrance. Eugene was a kind and Godly man. I was lucky to have worked for him and honored to be a customer of Wilson Engraving for many years.
He was always generous and fair.
You will be in our prayers as you heal and celebrate this wonderful man.
