My sincere condolences to the family. Prayers for strength.

I thought the world of Eugene and how much he did at Outlook Pointe to help me run that assisted living . He was such a hard worker and so good to all the residents. All of us were like family that worked at Outlook Pointe.We all thought so much of Eugene. I remember when he bought his house that we all went to his house and helped him paint and fix up his house. He thought so much of his family. We will all miss him so much. LaJean Brown

My heart is very heavy. My uncle was a very loving & caring man with a beautiful & welcoming smile. Although he was my uncle he cared for his nieces & nephews like we were his own kids. He always made me smile & laugh. Love you Uncle! Your niece C.Sanders
