I am Eugene's first cousin, once removed. My condolences and best wishes to Dr. Eugene's family and friends, especially Valene and Charles.
Unfortunately I lost touch with Eugene 7 or 8 years ago (and even then some sad family news that I wish he had shared never was mentioned), and I see that I am about 3 months late learning of his death. I have been keeping genealogy info of our Cornelius family since the late 1970s.
