Eugene J. Potaczek

Uncle Gene, I have been reminiscing about you for awhile. I was very sorry to hear you passed. I know if I saw you today it would be a good a time. Advice you gave me as a child still lives on with me now. I did good for myself. I wish I could show you. I am sorry your light does not grace this world anymore You will always be influential in my life

My brother Eugene was an adventurous, bold, macho and outgoing man. He loved the outdoors and had a lifelong passion for hunting; he was a crack shot and bagged many pheasants and deer in his time. Gene was always on the go. He loved taking long trips on his Harley, was a craftsman, a mechanic, and a creative "do it yourselfer". A trucker for over 40 years, Eugene worked for Bonfield, Inman, Campbell and Yellow. He even founded GTO Trucking in his younger years with Tom and Otis. Eugene...

Thinking of you today, Gene. I truly miss our conversations, sharing our thoughts, opinions, memories, what was going on in our lives, and the stories you would tell. I cherish those conversations and many memories. You excelled in all you did; playing many sports when young, driving a stock car and winning, and being on target when hunting. Our Mom was so proud of you. You were a jack of all trades to include plumbing as learned from our Dad, and you were a skilled semi driver living...

My deepest sympathy to the Potasczek Family on the sudden loss of Eugene. He was my 7th an 8th grade Language Arts student at Charles J. Sahs School. May you have peace remembering all the good times. My deepest sympathy to the Potaczek Family on the loss of Eugene. He was my 7th and 8th grade Language Arts studet at

I don´t think I will ever forget meeting Gene for the first time. Upon meeting him I thought "I don´t ever want to make him angry." But the more we got to know one another and time went on I realized that under his tough exterior, he was funny, outgoing, loved to share his stories, loved being outdoors working on just about anything or hunting, took pride in every single thing he did, he was a teacher to his sons and our children Jayden and Gage ( aka Grandpa Gene´s Little Prince) and...

My mom let the family know, and we were so sorry to hear about cousin Eugene's passing. The Ben and Dorothy Potaczek family sends our deepest sympathy. So many memories of him (and of course, Uncle Steve, his dad.) Rest in peace.

You will be missed here a lot. You would stop by the house and visit or just drive by and honk. I always knew you were just down the road for all my critter problems. You and Winston always talked about the cows and you chose to name your first calf on the farm after him(Baby Winston). It meant a lot to him. Then you always kept Frank a path mowed to the river so he could go fishing. Thank you for all you done for us. Rest in peace

My heart goes out to brothers Dave, Chris and Ben. I´m very sorry for your loss. Dave and Chris, I still remember the Christmas day long ago when I first met you guys and your dad! I can still recall the awesome gift one of you received from your dad of that model engine with all the light effects when put together! Many years later all of us received another gift, the birth of our baby brother Ben! Rest In Peace Gene knowing you are the father of three special sons!

You will be missed around here. From the visits and always there to lend a hand and I will not know who will get my critters when they cause havoc. Rest in peace
