I have such great memories of Br Eugene's classes. My own children have heard plenty of his asides because I remember so many of them. He was blessed to find the vocation that suited him perfectly. And we were lucky to be at Memorial during the 48 years that he inspired his students. You will be missed, Brother. Rest in peace.

Brother Eugene marched to the beat of a different drummer. It was exhilerating to be in his classroom. we never knew what to expect on a daily basis except that we would come out of there knowing something that would stay with us the rest of our lives.
one day we managed to get locked out after track practice and he was kind enough to unlock the door for us to get our backpacks,he wasn't happy to be disturbed,but was very gracious. he was working on the landscaping and was near by. he was always so kind and considerate. he will be greatly missed. he taught my brother, myself and many cousins at memorial. i am sorry my children will not have the privledge of knowing him.

The world lost a one of a kind teacher when Brother Eugene passed away. His unique way of teaching students made learning fun. The "sides" were an ingenous way for us to remember his lectures. I know all MHS students have funny stories about Brother Eugene and will miss his quirky sense of humor! I learned more from him than just history/psychology; I learned the true meaning of dedication, honesty, and faith. Thankfully, I saw him at MHS last year and introduced him to my 3 boys. Sadly, they will never know what a special teacher he was for everyone. Condolences to the Phillips family and all of those who were close to Brother Eugene. Everything he did for the school and parish will neve be forgotten. Brother Eugene will live forever in our hearts.

I'm sure the Duke is talking to Teddy about building the canal. I still know that the Checker is the best built car. Have a cigar on me.
A wonderful and remarkable influence on so many lives.

I was a "girrrll" and quiet... need I say more? Brother was an amazing teacher! He brought so much life to learning so much animation and love that you wanted to learn you wanted to go to Brothers class to hear what he was going to tell us next! He will be missed at Memorial but will always be in the hearts of those who had the privilage of knowing him.

The lessons Brother taught transcended a classroom setting. Who didn't want to be a winner, not only in Brother's eyes but in one's own mind? That subtle but effective motivation was one of his amazing skills. He could teach history and psychology very well, yet he could teach 'life lessons' even better. Quite simply, Brother was the most profound teacher I ever had.
It is said of the Brothers of Holy Cross: "Extraordinary lives, bringing hope to others..." Our dear Brother Eugene touched many students over the decades by instilling in us a hope to achieve our highest potential. So no matter where I am in the world, a little part of me is back in that pink-walled classroom working hard to be a winner!
Brother lived a life in service to God, and he is now with Jesus and the angels.

I just learned of Brother Eugene's passing and one of many thoughts was of how he presented our history to us, especially World War II, from the German point of view, what a way to keep us engaged. Reading the other entries, I know many others who thought as much of him as I did, he will be missed!

We who had the good fortune to be Brother's students knew even at that young age that we were in the presence of an extraordinary teacher and someone we would never forget. I am sometimes amazed at how much of what I learned in his class that I still remember after all these years! Maybe it was things like, "It's Christmas, 1919--draw a Christmas tree in your notes." It is a privilege and a blessing to be part of a club that spans nearly five decades.
What most of us in the Memorial family don't know the half of is the countless hours and backbreaking labor that Brother spent to keep that beautiful, historic building something of which we can all be proud. I never knew until recently that he often spent his own money for repairs and other needs that were not in the budget.
Thank you, Brother, for your labor of love. Your spirit will live on in those hall forever!

No teacher prepared me for college classes like Brother Eugene. Many times in lecture classes I thought of him and his methods. I cant imagine Memorial without him.
I appreciate reading the kind words of old friends, neighbors and cousins that attended Memorial too.

As I sit here reading all of these lovely tributes, I feel more and more honored to have had the immense privilege of having Brother Eugene for psychology and American history. I have taken those lessons and applied them to my life. What an amazing teacher...and I love to see how he has touched so many lives!
I once had a Saturday detention (tardiness in my Senior year...ugh!) and brother gave each of us a specific job to do. He sent me to Eastland Mall to purchase a copy of Dianetics. He said he wanted to read it to see what all the fuss was about. After my errand, I was set free from detention! But seeing that being in detention disappointed Brother so much, I never returned!
The last time I spoke with him was a few years after graduating. I returned to MHS for a visit, and Brother pointed out that the girls were now permitted to wear blue shorts instead of the traditional uniform skirts. He said to me..."I guess it is easier to let them wear shorts than to actually teach them to sit like ladies." We shared a moment of disgust and continued on with our conversation.
God bless you Brother Eugene. You definitely have made a difference in countless lives!!!

I had the pleasure of having Brother Eugene as my History teacher 47 years ago in his first year at Memorial HS. His wit, timing and intelligence were amazing, as was his willingness to help and inspire. I did not realize until now how many times my thoughts drift back to those wonderful learning times in his classrooms. I'm sure God knows what a blessing He has near Him now. And I hope his family knows how many lives he affected so profoundly. Only a truly Great Man can give up so much to help so many! I bet he's up there now looking down saying "what's all the fuss," but I know in his heart he knew how much he meant to each and everyone of us he touched. He will be in my thoughts and prayers until we meet again.

My family was very fortunate in that Brother taught my parents, myself and my three younger sisters. My youngest sister was in his class this past school year. We were all very blessed to not only have known him as a person, but also as a teacher. Words can't express what kind of impact he had on the Memorial community, and for this we are truly greatful.

To me he was not Brother Eugene but Uncle Rusty, Dad's younger brother. My memories of him are filled with laughter, and we as children were always delighted when Rusty came to visit at holidays. I'm glad that so many were able to share in his life. That is his true legacy.

Condolences to all who have known Brother Eugene for these 48 years. I spent time in Eucharistic Adoration this AM for for his intentions. He was a jewel!
In his class one year I remember sitting next to Mark Browning for Government. Did we laugh! What fun Brother's class was especially for the girls who mostly had to stay upstairs with "the more sedate" Sisters of Providence.I, for one, loved to be down in the basement classes where it was really fun to learn. One day the Bishop was visiting in the basement and I began talking to him (we knew him since he lived close to CTK parish). Because of this little distraction ,Brother Eugene for years after told me (and all my 8 siblings to come to Memorial after me) how I saved his life. Apparently, during that 'official' visit "Herr Schimmel" and someone else were climbing out the window to retrieve a purse. Such rascals we had in our class!
Brother Eugene, I'm sorry I couldn't have been there to save your life a second time---but it was not meant to be! May God show you in heaven all the good you have done for students' souls while you were at Memorial High School!

Brother Eugene taugh me history. It was so long ago that what were then "current events" are now in the history books. I never forgot him He was one of the handful of teachers who really got through to me. Every kid needs a few of those. Read the comments from his students in the obituary guest book at the Evansville Courier's site, and you will see that I while I was lucky, I was not unique. Brother Eugene got through to a lot of students. I think it was that he was absolutely present: right here--right now. He was a great man. God bless him.

At the start of class he would rub his hands together like a woodchopper getting ready to pick up his axe and say, "We have MUCH to do!". It just hit me that he may have meant more by it than even he knew at the time. We had not only to learn history, but to grow up. He helped me do both.
Thank you Brother Eugene. God bless and keep you.

What a great person and educator! Once after misbehaving in Brother's American History class he had me WALK to the downtown central library and conduct research on the history of hand-held folding fans that women carried during the Victorian era. He asked me very specifically, with that great grin on his face, to report on how different fan wavings and their degree of foldings were used to convey silent communications, including a woman's infatuation with a person of the opposite sex!
In addition to this so obscure research paper he then had me purchase such a fan and demonstrate these embarrassing "love communications" to my fellow classmates (all boys of course) while perched high up in one of his classroom window wells and wearing a woman's wig.
I have not once misbehaved in over 40 years.
You will be sorely missed my friend.
August 6, 2009
....Archduke Franz Ferdinand, Abe Lincoln's high pitched voice, asides, "don't cha know", freeze outs, monotone lectures when the class was acting up, quizzes, the ability to rip a phone book in half, Brother sharing his childhood experience with interdigitation......
How blessed are those of us who were able to experiencce all that he shared.
Thank you, Brother Eugene. You are a Godly man and you made a difference.

Brother Eugene was truly an inspirational teacher. His powerful presence - (not to mention his ability to rip a phonebook in half) kept our attention. You never knew what brother would do next, but you couldn't wait to see. He always found a balance between scolding and kidding that kept you guessing whether he was ever really angry. He made a difference to me and countless others - Class of 1995

30 years after graduating from MHS, I can remember Brother Eugene's teaching methods and life lessons more than anything else from my time in high school.
Many people before me have reminisced about his cleverness and sense of humor. No doubt these helped everybody enjoy his class and learn better.
There are two things Brother Euguene taught me that I still put to use today. First, I took his advice and always wear a cotton undershirt whenever wearing a dress shirt - he said it was more comfortable - and it's true!
Second, and most important, he encouraged us to be critical thinkers - to try to see the other side of the story and to adopt views that didn't conform to the common understanding of the truth. It that respect, he was a "tough number".
Thanks, Brother Eugene, for the education, the fun, and the inspiration.

One September morning in 1962 a scared MHS Freshman walked into a basement History classroom with Brother Eugene leaning against the podium. “Take a seat I'll assign one later after I see your grades, he barked.” I'll never pass this course, why do I need History anyway I thought. Then every so often he'd weave a Brother Eugenism into his lecture and then try to restrain himself from all out laughter at the classes response. Wow I'd think, this course could be fun I might even pass. I left loving History and aspiring to be half as kind, loving, witty and knowledgeable as this Brother, Brother Eugene Phillip. Though I've never thought about it until now his example is most likely why I changed careers in the mid 70’s from engineering to teaching. He is and will always be the best teacher I ever had or ever met. And, believe me, having taught college for the last 40 years I've met quite a few that proclaim to be teachers!! Believe me none come close!
As many have attested in this Guest Book for almost half a century he made learning fun! His wit, timing and intelligence were amazing, as was his willingness to help and inspire. Who could forget the King of Spain, Fill up the Second, or the Browns game date and the blanket full of sand that helped him choose his vocation. I did not realize until now how many times my thoughts drift back to those wonderful learning times in his classrooms. Even now in death he spans the decades and brings us all back together again!! I hope he knew how much he meant to all of us, and I'm sure God knows what a blessing He has near Him now.

Brother Eugene was my favorite teacher of all time. I was lucky enough to get in his American history class by chance. I made sure to sign up for his Advanced History and Psychology classes so that I could have him for another year. I didn't really even like history, but he made class fun and interesting. He would have "freeze outs" in the winter by opening the windows to keep us wide awake. MHS will not be quite the same without him.

I have to say as a Freshman I was SCARED of the man!LOL I will NEVER drop a pencil w/o picking it up. Or throw a piece of paper on the floor. (I saw what he did to the kid that did!!LOL) Now, when I had the honor of having him in class, I must say he was and is at the top of my list for GREATEST teacher! He definately walked the walk that he preached! Memorial has endured a great loss along w/the students.

My brother called me yesterday afternoon to inform me that Brother Eugene passed away. I am surprised that the news has affected me so much. It took me back 40 years when I was a high school junior greatly underachieving, but having fun.
In the first day of Brother Eugene’s American history class he said he was going to pass out a syllabus. I had no idea what he was passing out, but I was sure I didn’t want it. After having him as my junior teacher, I was thrilled to take his American Government class in my senior year. He spoke in a gruff manner and tried to frown all the time, but his sense of humor told you that it was an act, and he was just having fun with you.
My memory of his teachings is as solid today as it was then. He taught history like he was telling a story, always taking liberties with quotes to enliven the story. I remember not only the text learning but his supplemental education of the Stanley Steamer story in American Heritage magazine, how the Federal Reserve works (or doesn’t), how a strong monetary system was the key to winning wars, and, of course, he showed us the obligatory silent movies. One of the most obscure things I learned from him was that you could tell the quality of an institution’s maintenance program by how clean the restrooms were.
More important than the facts I learned from him, was the inspiration he made to my life. I was drifting through high school and while I wasn’t his best student, he did pique my interest in learning. He seemed to take an interest in me realizing my potential, not only in school but in life. He would invite three students over to their house on Sunday nights to play Schafkopf (a German card game), and smoke cigars (remember, this was 40 years ago). He took myself and three classmates to Notre Dame our senior year for the Georgia Tech game. While there, he pointed out that the University had its own Zip Code.
About 20 years ago I sent him an audio tape telling him how important he was to my development. Except for my parents, he was the most influential person in my upbringing. He sent me a different tape back, thanking me for mine, and telling me he wanted to keep it, to remind him why he teaches. Over the years, we exchanged Christmas cards and receiving his was always a highlight for me. I can’t make my class reunion this year because of a scheduling conflict, and my biggest disappointment was that I wouldn’t get to visit with him.
I will miss him tremendously. He was a wonderful man and I am forever grateful to Brother Eugene

When I went to Memorial (Class of '63) we didn't have the Brothers teaching us. Remember, the girls on the second floor and the boys on the first. However, Brother Eugene's reputation as a great teacher pierced the ceiling and spread, with my siblings, nieces and nephews who attended Memorial. What a legacy for Memorial! God Bless you, Brother, for a job well done!

I was in the graduating class of 87 and yes we were a handful. Brother Eugene was our biggest cheerleader, for the most part. He really helped me through some really ruff patches in my life and for that I will always be greatful. My son will be graduating this year from Memorial and when I told Tyler about Brother Eugene his words were, "Memorial won't be the same." I know that the God realizes what a great treasure and teacher he has gotten with Brother Eugene. Rest In Peace Brother Eugene, you'll always be remembered and live on through all the young minds you have taught.

My MHS class of 1969 is having our 40th reunion this October. I was hoping to see Br. Eugene during my visit to Evansville. Back then, and I believe until his death, he didn't drive. I drove him on errands from time to time and got to know him as a friend. Away from school he liked to be called "Duke".
As much as I resisted learning in my teen years, Br. Eugene broke the code. He taught practical things like filing tax returns and keeping a checkbook. A few weeks ago I met a recent MHS grad. This 20 year old kid and I had the same thing to say about Br. Eugene -- he was the best.
His "last words" cracked me up. Rest in peace Duke, you were someone who made a difference.

It is hard to single out any one teacher as the best, especially at Memorial, but Brother Eugene was by far my favorite and most revered. He energized and challenged his students with facts, trivia and asides. He was a quick witted comic in the footsteps of Groucho Marx, but above all he cared about his students and was passionate about their education. He helped prepare me for life beyond high school and he made me a better person. We have lost a great educator, friend and person.
