This can only be a paragraph but it could be a book. My sister Margaret, Lady Hart, sketched the beginning. I met him in February 1958 when the quartet were in London. He wrote on the plane to Frankfurt when they left that evening. When later they were in town I would take a day off and we would play, just trumpet and bass (both muted!) in his hotel room. I also visited him and Phyllis a couple of times. Great losses, both. 

Eugene became an honorary member of my family in East London in about 1958. My last memory of him was during his visit to London in 2008 when he stayed with me and my husband in Blackheath. I remember his delight at seeing a view of London from the hill where Greenwich 
Observatory stands. A much loved brother for so many years. They will need his music in heaven.

We knew the Senator through our friend, Hadda Brooks. We featured them in our cabaret program and they entertained our 50th birthday event in 2001. Mr. Senator was the kindest, most lovely and generous man ever. We communicated over the years and tried my best to get him back to Northern CA for a performance, trying to get the San Francisco Chronicle to do a feature on him . . 
He will be so missed for his brilliance as a musician, a friend, and above all, the most lovely gentleman I ever met. My thoughts are with you, his family. Monty Sander
