Eugene attended Central High School and graduated from Ball Hall school in 1969. It was at Central High School where he would meet the love of his life, Irene. Upon graduation, they married and to this union two wonderful children were born, Virginia Lynette and Eugene, Jr. Eugene never imagined that such an Angel would be by his side every step of the way no matter what for the next 54 years.
