Eugene was like family to me. This year he came to my house to make repairs. He repaired what I knew needed repairing as well as what he found that needed it as well. Then he wanted to make sure I was okay and told me pay him when I could and didn’t want me to be in any hurry or run short paying any other bills. He always gave me fatherly advice which was honest and out of true concern. I admired, trusted and loved Eugene and had security knowing he would come when I needed him. I will miss him but I also take comfort in knowing he is rejoicing in Heaven. He truly was one of the best men I’ve known. Praying for Glenda Sue and Roger, I love y’all.
So sorry Thinking of you and sending prayers for you Donna & Roger. Melinda
Dear Family,
Years of being in fellowship, friendship and kinship, as a youngster has become an endearment that could not be measured in time, value or expression.
Eugene’s gift of engaging people helped bring value to the human relationship.
He like King David in the Psalms wanted to engage his God with the same vigor through praise and worship and I enjoyed the symphony of life when God was indeed worshipped in church or in work.
Eugene often talked of my Dad who had incorporated both with the same vigor, yet with quietness of spirit.
“For now we see through a glass darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.”– I Corinthians 13:12
The grace and mercy that came to us through Jesus Christ and brought us into kinship with God has now brought Eugene “face to face” and into perfect praise! To God be the glory!
with love and prayers,
Gerald, Karen and Derek Wood
I’m so sorry for your loss! I have so many great memories of Eugene! I love y’all!
