When I first become a call firefighter 1994 in st. Johnsbury, Eugene was always teaching me things about firefighting. He was a mentor to me, He was a kidder and very smart. I moved away in 1996 where I continued to be a freighter in Roanoke VA and always remember what he had tought me. In 1998 when I heard about his passing, it was deviating. Felt like part of me died . I will never forget Eugene.
