will be missed by all who knew 
him.
He is survived by his devoted 
and cherished wife of 63 years,

Stephen (Jennifer) Driker, and 
his son-in-law Perry Ohren; his 
treasured grandchildren, Charlie, 
Caleb, Rebecca, Sophie, and 
Emma, who knew him as Zeyde. 
Eugene is also survived by a loving 
circle of extended family and a 
world of friends.

late Charles and the late Frances 
Driker. He was the brother of the 
late Ruth Driker (Irv) Kroll and the
