Obituary for Gilbert Eugenio Jr, in 2019 from Wailuku, Maui.
Gilbert "Butch" Eugenio Jr.
Thursday, April 5th, 1945 - Sunday, March 24th, 2019
On March 24, 2019, Gilbert “Butch” Eugenio, Jr. of Wailuku, Maui passed away at the age of 73. He was born to Gilbert and Josephine Eugene of Honolulu, O'ahu on April 1945. He was a graduate of Kamehameha Schools Class of 1963 where he was a member of the football team, ROTC and the Concert Glee. He later moved to Maui and was a Department Manager at Longs Drugs, Kahului for many years and retired there in 1987. After retiring from Longs Drugs he became the Federal Census Bureau Pre-listing Director for both the County of Maui and County of Hawai'i Island as well as the Director of Security at Wailea Point AOAO. He finally decided to retire for certain a 2nd time and did so from the Wailea Golf Club Blue Course.
He had a love and passion for music and enjoyed playing the 'ukulele and guitar. He was a part of a music trio with his wife Lolita and Jay Moore that performed at various private events. He shared his musical talents as a director of the St Anthony Catholic Church Wailuku Sunday 7am Mass Choir for 22 years, assisted his dear friend Keliii Tau'a in the Hawaiian music classes at Baldwin High School from ’94 to’98 and later alongside Pekelo Cosma for his grandson Hinano’s Papa 2021 of Ke Kula Kaiapuni o Pa'ia as they prepared for Na Mele O Maui song contests. He also taught music and 'ukulele classes at King Kekaulike High School.
His love for community service and football led to his involvement in the Maui football community for 4 decades. He became an MIL football official and scorekeeper for approximately 40 years and was also a commissioner, board member and member of the Maui Pop Warner Football Association for about 15 years. For about 20 years, he also dedicated time to the “Heiva I Maui” which he was a Director for the non-profit organization Maui Polynesian Tahiti Fete.
Growing up in the islands he loved to ride dirt bikes, surf, kayak, paddle canoe and was an avid free-diver and fisherman. He loved spending quality time with his family and taught them to enjoy and savor the outdoors with frequent camping and fishing trips. In his spare time you'd find him doing all sorts of puzzles like crosswords, sudoku, and jigsaws as well as reading history lit and autobiographies.
He was a devoted father and grandfather of which he supported all their various activities and would make every effort to attend all of their sporting or performing arts events. Gil had a great sense of humor, was a very supportive, passionate, diplomatic and knowledgeable man - a wonderful conversationalist who could talk about anything and everything. A patient and kind man who will be immensely missed by his loving family and friends.
Gil is survived by his wife of 40 years, Lolita Sevilla Eugenio and five children, sons; Ryan Eugenio (Tina-Lei), Randy Eugenio (Tara), and AB Eugenio, daughters; Leola Waikiki-Lovell (Frank), and Keola Gilbert (Kanamu), thirteen grandchildren, Alicia, Shae, Shandon, Kaikea, Kamalani, Kamana, Kamuela, Kahua, Hinano (Brock), Emmaleigh, Elizabeth, Teamana, and Ra'ihau and two great-grandchildren. He is also survived by his four sisters Carolyn Canubida (Carlos), Lonnie Eugene, Christine Torres (Vince), Jo-Ann Silva, along with numerous cousins, nieces, and nephews.
Visitation services will be held at St Anthony Catholic Church in Wailuku, Maui, on Saturday, May 4th, 2019 at 10am followed by a Celebration of Life Service beginning at 12noon.
