Eugene 'Gene' Herbert Eichele

He was a Good Man

I went all through school with Eugene from the 1st grade on. I enjoyed seeing and visiting with him at all our 1962 Class Reunions.

May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief. I went all through school with Eugene from the 1st grade on. Enjoyed seeing and visiting with him at the reunions.

I grew up next to Gene in stockton. I always hung out with his grandkids. Im 23 & even though he was my neighbor, he felt more like an uncle! He was my dads friend on the block & always said hello. I remember him being at my father rosary, I'll be at yours gene!! Thank you for being my neighbor!
