Eugene was born September 24, 1952 in Clarion, Iowa to parents Donald and Janice Olson. He was a graduate of Lanesboro High school in Minnesota.  He proudly served his country in the US Army from 1971 to 1974.  He was fond of the time he spent and the memories he made while serving in Germany and spent the rest of his life sharing these memories with anyone who would listen.
