I am so sorry for your loss Mrs. Height and all his family. I am at a loss for words. I know you and Mr. Eugene through ENR. I am so saddened to learn of his passing. He was such a wonderful man, always had a smile on his face. I had been thinking about you all for the last couple of months and decided today to call to see how you all were doing. His phone is disconnected so I tried calling your cellphone. I did a little research and came across his obituary. I am deeply saddened. I will keep you all in my prayers and may he Rest In Peace.
