Eugene was alone for many years but worked at The Williams Inn for over 20 years until he was 80 years of age. He had many friends young and old and he would go golfing with his co workers often of all ages and would talk to anyone who would listen, especially about sports!
So many knew him in his community just seeing him sitting on his deck in his front yard or in town at the Stop & Shop or going for his paper at Cumbies, even at the bank and post office they were all his daily routes.He would stop and talk to everyone. His community would always help him if he needed a hand. He was also a cat lover, he had a heart for animals. He also had 4 step daughters in PA & NJ - Susan, Linda, Jill & Patty.
He was closest to his daughter Jill who would visit often and they spoke every day.
