After retiring, "Pop's" enjoyed fellowship dancing at the nearby Senior centers, which kept him healthy until Dementia took its toll. Mos importantly, "Papa Church" accepted Jesus as his personal Lord and Savior and is now in his presence. Eugene was preceded in death by his parents, Clarence and Leona; brother, Harold; son, Jason and his children's mother, Mary.
