Eugene devoted extensive time and efforts to a variety of charitable organizations alongside the Knights of Columbus and also the Muscular Dystrophy Association. He loved cooking, drawing, and gardening. He also liked to experiment with his plants and trees, and even had an orange tree that would sprout blackberries. Eugene loved the sea, often spending days at the lakeside, considering it a second home. Eugene also loved spending time with his family. He taught his boys how to camp, hunt and fish, and he even showed them how to make an RC car run on nothing but hot sauce. Eugene was a devoted father to his children and was always there to care and provide for them. You can say that Eugene was a hero to his sons.
