Eugene was a custodian for some of the years I taught 4th grade in Mtn. Home. We all loved Eugene. He was so genuinely friendly and fun to talk to. He had a great sense of humor and always got me to laugh about something. He brought some much needed sanity to my sometimes crazy world of teaching when we would visit in the hallway and in my classroom. Some people just radiate a good heart and that was Eugene. I know there is a wonderful place in heaven for this very special man. Thanks Eugene from my heart to yours. Joyce Wiseman
How sad it is to have truly good relatives and really not have them in my life very much. As the old song says ' Life is what happens while busy making other plans'. My love especially to Aunt Grace and all those who loved him. Goodbye Eugene.

I got to know Eugene when I worked with him at the lab. Then he was the custodian when my children were in school and I seen him often there. I enjoyed talking to Eugene, he was always happy and funny. I was impressed by him on several occasions, the one that has stuck with me is how well he was with numbers (he was faster than the calculator). I am sorry for your loss and know that Eugene is in a much happier place. RIP Eugene.
Eugene and I have been friends sense childhood. We had many fun times together. Eugene was always looking for a joke or prank to play on a neighbor or friend. We will miss you "Gene".

Eugene, I'm sure St. Peter will get a chuckle from stories--I know that I did. My sincerest sympathies to the Waire family.
