Eugene attended First Pentecostal Church on North Little Rock on I40, and he loved his Pastor J N Holmes. He liked big boats and owned one that he cruised up and down the Arkansas River on when he wasn't working. In his last years he loved to ride down county roads and view the scenery. He loved his wife Virginia, and depended greatly on her, and he always wanted his family to do well in life. Eugene worked hard and loved his family, he said "the only thing I hate about dying, is leaving my family" and he will be sorely missed by his family.
