Remembering Eugene Greene

Eugene Greene
Died July 5, 2018
Public Works/Sanitation
Was Active City Employee
51 years of City service

Who was Eugene (Gene) Greene?

He was my friend for almost 50 years. We met in the Planning Dept. as he worked on his landscape architect degree from Cal Poly, Pomona.

For those who knew him, you may or may not know that in addition to being a husband, father and brother, he was a master of many trades:

  • He was caretaker of the Japanese Gardens often referred to as “Gene’s” gardens.
  • A skillful auto mechanic.
  • A backflow specialist.
  • A wine connoisseur.
  • A good friend.
  • And, yes, a workaholic.
    Goodbye dear friend.
    Sandy (Minjarez) Grange
