Eugene, a Vietnam Veteran, proudly served his country in the US Navy and was discharged as a Petty Officer third class.  He then went on to work as a Probation Officer in Riverside County for almost 40 years.  His hobbies included reading James Patterson novels, taking trips to Laughlin, going on cruises, and rooting for the Raiders.  Eugene was a great guy and enjoyed making others laugh.  He was known for often telling bad dad jokes.  His strong character, caring heart, and faith-filled spirit will be missed.
