His travels covered many destinations in Canada, the USA and Europe with highlights in Wales, Niagara Falls, Disneyland, Prince Edward Island, Arizona and Northern Saskatchewan however he always viewed his home in Yorkton as his sanctuary. All could hear his love of life as he hummed " Tiny Bubbles" or "Please Release Me". Eugene was diagnosed with colon cancer in March of 2006. God granted him many miracles as he recovered from surgical sepsis, kidney dialysis and numerous rounds of chemotherapy.
