Haven't heard anything on Eugene other than I heard he was in bad health at the 2005 reunion.
Hope you are well,

Don't know why Eugene is on my mind so much lately.  
I always liked him in a friendly sort of way and I was hoping to hear good things happening to him.

Our high school friends were/are such a huge part of our lives!! 
I doubt there is even one member of our class of 1960 that doesn’t feel loss at Eugene’s death. 
In my book Eugene was one of the best and I had a real affection for him. 
He was such a special person and I remember so many good things about him. 
I wish I could have talked to him again. 
That is what happens when we wait too long to see and talk with the people 
who have impacted and left wonderful memories in our lives. 
My deepest sympathy goes to his family. 
God bless you and help you through your grief.
