Even during the last couple of years when Eugene was battling mid-to late-stage dementia, it was clear that he had a sense of humor and a gentle spirit. I enjoyed meeting Eugene and Joanne at the U of M Wayne Caron Family Caregiving Center, the Gathering and Dr. Yu's exercise study.

I have fond memories of visiting Joanne, Eugene, Ihor, Maryna and the rest of the family when I was 21 (I'm now 43 with three children) and then again a few years later with my friend Kim. Eugene was a lovely, gentle man and it was clear what a loving family this was and still is. Nothing was too much trouble and my visits are among my fondest memories. Eugene was much loved and will be sadly missed.
Love from Cheryl Critchley in Australia (Joe Wowk's grand daughter), my husband Brian Roy and children Jessica, Rebecca and Ben.
