In his spare time he enjoyed playing the guitar and concertina, fishing, hunting and going to the farm and driving the tractor. Eugene loved to spend time at the family cottage in Tomahawk where he created many memories with family and friends. Eugene was a charter member of Good Shepherd Lutheran Church.
