Saddened to hear of Eugenes passing. Eugene was wonderful person and a friend to our family. My mom(Eugenes Aunt Belle) loved to see him knowing that before he left he was going to sing for her, especially Peter Street. I think mom thought about Aunt Liz whenever Eugene was there. Hopefully he’s with them tonight. My sincerest condolences to Edna, their children, Jimmy, Betty, Charlie and extended members of the Pittman and Green families

Edna and all your family so sorry to hear of Eugene's passing.
Somebody so great and full of life is a big loss indeed.
My best memory of Eugene is his wonderful voice to belt out a song especially around Paddy's Day.
Andy recalls quite often the time strolling through Ireland with Eugene having a monotonous time with him singing the Cliffs of Baccalieu.
Hold tight to all the good memories.Take Care.
Rest in Peace Eugene.

Verde - especially his willingness and ability to belt out a tune, and he always had entertaining stories to tell too. May the comfort of family and friends and the wonderful memories you have all created over the years help you through these difficult days ahead. With time, may these memories bring a smile to your face instead of a tear to your eye. RIP, Eugene. Hugs to you all.

I don’t have the right words.... there are no right words. Just wanted to let you know I care for you, Eugene and the Pittmans.
The best vivid memories I have of Uncle Eugene are of him behind the wheel of the Tony and Gene or belting out a version of “The Cliffs of Baccalieu".
Maybe my best individual memory with him is when he took me, Colin Howse and Uncle Tony out to Merasheen for the night. I am not sure who snored the loudest but sleeping in the boat was a memory I will not forget despite the quantity of rum I had beforehand.
Probably my favourite thing about Uncle Eugene was his barrel laugh. I like someone who let's their laughter ride out unsaddled.

Dear Edna& family,
I was so sad to hear your sudden heartbreaking news. I was out to Derm's a few weeks ago and Eugene was there when we arrived. After chatting for a while I asked him would he sing The Cliffs of Baccalieu and just like that he belted it out of him. Leigh Anne and I were in our glee. It was very special then and even more special now. Thinking of you with love in your time of sorrow. Joan.

Eugenes passing is a huge loss to Placentia Bay. Sad not to see and speak to him this trip home as he was omni-present. His legacy is deeply rooted and so deserving. Seems to me he treated “everyone” as kin and he received the same genuine love, affection and respect from all. His reward will be great. RIP Gene and do keep singing with the angels.

Edna and family please accept my deepest sympathy at Eugene passing. He was more than a friend to the Pomroy family. He was one of us. I remember my mom's last trip OUT HOME. It was in 2014 there were 25 or 30 of us going out for the day. He came down that morning feeling really bad. He told me he was going to tell us that he couldn't go. But then he saw that mom was already aboard and he didn't have the heart to say not That's the kind of man he was. Putting others ahead of himself. He will be always remembered and sadly missed HOME will never be the same. May the seas be calm and the wind be at your back. Smooth sailing SKIPPER RIP.

My dear Edna, Charlie, Jim, Betty & Families. I just heard of Eugene's passing and send my heartfelt condolences. I remember the love and respect my mother had for Eugene and Edna and the many times she spoke fondly of you both. You were both so kind to her. Eugene was such a lovely man with a quiet gentleness that put you immediately at ease in his presence. And, yes, like many others leaving their memories of him, I too am reminded of him every time I hear "The Rocks of Merasheen". He was a beautiful man and will surely be missed by all who knew him. You are blessed to have such wonderful memories.

Edna, gene, tony, michael, krista, charlie, jim and mary please accept my sincerest sympathy on the passing of eugene. Eugene was the sweetest. It was an honor to have him as a relation because he was so well known for his kind and gentle nature and willingness to do anything for anyone. He was so good to nanny belle and never missed an occasion to honor her birthdays or any event he was invited to. I am sure when she seen him coming she got the rocks of merasheen out of him because he was never allowed to leave the house without singing it for her. Thinking of you all at this most sad time and sending hugs and prayers. Rest easy skipper and may you rest in the eternal peace of christ. " a merasheen islander you'll always be"
