Eugene was a man who wore many hats. He lived life to the fullest and enjoyed every minute.

He was a hard worker and wasn’t afraid to break a sweat. Being a perfectionist, he never settled for good enough. He worked construction and was meticulous with every detail. He was the man to call if you needed something painted, and you could ask any lady in Dearborn at the time how great of a job he did hanging wallpaper!

Eugene was a true adventurer. In his spare time, it wouldn’t be at all unusual to find Eugene flying a plane, or even jumping out of one! Boating and water skiing weren’t uncommon either.

There were many other hobbies he dabbled in. He loved billiards. One day he decided to give music a try. He found that he loved the banjo. Every winter Eugene would go to Marco Island in Florida. He joined a band called the Marco Island Strummers. They played every weekend and many different events.

Most of all, Eugene loved his family. He spent a lot of time building memories that will last. His grandsons will never forget spending the summers helping him tend to the tomato plants in the garden. There are many other traditions and activities that will be missed.

Eugene was a one of a kind man and will be missed by all that were lucky enough to have had him in their lives.
