He was a very nice man and was very active member of our Post.  He was our Post Historian and had a unique way of taking pictures for our Post Scrap Book.  He was very thorough with the Post Scrap Book and he enjoy his work with it, and one year he won an award from the Nassau County American Legion for his work with the Scrap Book. Eugene used to talk a lot about his dad and his experiences in the military. He also mentioned how he studied over seas and became a teacher in the states. He said he spoke a number of different languages. He also mentioned how  he loved his wife's Hungarian Goulash, in fact he couldn't get enough of it.  He will be sorely missed, rest in peace my friend.
