Eugene worked on the Pennsylvania Railroad before launching a series of successful contract cleaning businesses. He was an avid and proficient golfer, with five documented “holes in one" in his lifetime. He married twice, first to Marian Jeanine (Diemer) Day, and then to Peggy (Showalter Hodson) Day. He is survived by Roderick and Shonnee Day, Terry and Dianne Manning, Robert and Curtis Davia, and Ryan and Julie Day, from his first marriage, and Pam and Keith Coryel, Michael Hunt, Steve and Sandy Hunt, and Susan Angelmeyer, from his second marriage.
