Eugene worked for Sabin Robins Paper Co. in Edison for twenty-five years before he retired in 1997. He was a proud Ukrainian-American who supported a sovereign and independent Ukraine.

When his children were growing up, he was an active member of the Ukrainian American Youth Association in Passaic, NJ, where he served as Treasurer.

His warming smile and gentle demeanor will be missed. Eugene enjoyed spending his time with his family and looked forward to celebrating holidays. He had a deep repertoire of Ukrainian Christmas carols he loved to sing with his family. He was proud of his grandchildren’s academic and athletic accomplishments—and an enthusiastic fan of sports. He will be truly missed by family and friends.
