Eugene Hmelak Obituary
Eugene Hmelak, aged 70, of Elizabeth, New Jersey, passed away peacefully on August 21, 2025.
A devoted resident of Elizabeth, Eugene was well known among friends and neighbors for his unwavering love of golf. Whether he was on the course perfecting his swing or cheering on professional tournaments, his passion for the game was a defining part of his life.

He is profoundly missed by those who were fortunate enough to know him. His legacy of warmth, good humor, and love for the simple joys in life—especially the game of golf—will live on in the hearts of family and friends.
