Very authentic man! Still missed!

I was deeply saddened to hear of Eugene's passing. His sister-in-law was at the place I work at a few weeks ago. I asked her how he was. She stopped and said he passed away about 15 months ago. I was stunned he was always a very nice man. I'll tell you how I met him and came to the best pizza place EVER. In 1979/1980 my sister and I were driving home from work and we were a wee bit hungry. I said "I'll pull in here (14 and Ryan) and we can get a piece of pizza". My sister said "I want my own piece". Together we scrounged up 78 cents. (this was 1979/1980) We went in with quite a few coins and asked the man at the counter(Eugene) how much 2 slices were he said "Whatever you have in your hand" I replied "I only have .78 cents and each piece is 50 cents(again 1979/1980) each-we will just take one, could you please cut it in half" "Sure" he said. We paid the 52 cents (plus tax) and went to the car. I told my sister this pizza must be loaded with cheese, the bag was a little heavy. I opened that bag and there were two slices wrapped in those aluminum foil squares. I told my sister we can't take this we did not pay for it. I went back in and he had a huge smile on his face. I started to say "We only paid......" Eugene stopped me and said "I want you each to have a slice. You will love it and be a customer for life". We are my whole family. Aunts, Uncles, cousins, 2nd cousins, in-laws, outlaws. Everywhere I have traveled by car, there is a large pizza or two in the car with us. Breakfast, lunch and dinner for a couple days. I have spread the word about Jett's from Maine, Florida and Arizona and everywhere in between. I have never forgotten the kindness of a very nice man who owned a delicious pizza store. We ordered pizza every Friday night for years at that 14 & Ryan location. We have 2 with in 5 mile here in Macomb. God rest your soul Eugene!

Very sorry to hear of Eugene's passing. I have some great memories of when we went hunting, and a trip to Vegas. Always had a great time when I was around him. Did not seen him for a long time, but always remembered and shared those good memories with others. He will be missed! My deepest sympathy to Melinda and the family.
