Eugene R. Sobolewski, 74, of Barnesville passed away Tuesday afternoon at home surrounded by his loving family.

My deepest sympathy. Did not know him like I know his sons Matty & Doug but if he was anything like them he was a Saint. He raised them boys to be the men they are today respectful and giving two great men. So sorry for the Family's lose but God will take him and no worries he is in the best of hands we can imagine.
