Known by his steady hands, calm demeanor, and caring voice, “Gene”, “Dook”, “Dad”, or “Papaw” was always there.

Eugene was preceded in death by his parents, as well as 3 siblings: Lois Mae, Jim, and Rab.

He is survived by his wife of 73 years, Anna Jean; his three children, Denise Gibson (Eddie), Dinah Hodges (Robert), and Dook Combs (Kamala); three siblings, Elmer Ray, Mac, and Sue; and a host of grandchildren and great grandchildren.
