He grew up in the Morningside area of Sioux City, graduating in 1965 from East High School. Eugene raised his family in Sergeant Bluff, IA. He was a hardworking man, always busy doing something and working multiple jobs to provide for his family. He was a hay farmer and taught his children many lessons as they helped on the farm.

He softened later in life when it came time to help his grandchildren learn through their choices. He taught his children many lessons as they learned to help on the farm. Animals were always a part of the farm life; chickens, goats…the cute ones, not the grouchy ones.
