Eugene Vincent was born July 19, 1931, on the family farm outside of Elyria to Frank and Julia (Sobon) Augustyn. In his early teens he helped on the family farm when his brothers went to the war. At the age of 18, Gene enlisted in the United States Army and fought in the Korean War. On Nov. 23, 1957, Gene was united in marriage to Freda Conner at Elyria. To this union five sons and three daughters were born. In their early years of marriage, the couple resided in small communities in central Nebraska. In 1965, they settled in Ord and in 1968, Gene bought the Electrical Company from Don Edwards. Gene continued his electrician career by obtaining a master electrical license. He established and owned Gene’s Electric until his retirement in 1995. Gene was a member of Our Lady of Perpetual Help Catholic Church, Ord Volunteer Fire Department, American Legion and VFW and was a Fourth Degree Knights of Columbus. He enjoyed gardening, walking his dog, Shy Girl, and feeding the neighborhood squirrels. Gene followed his sons and grandsons while they wrestled and played sports and also cheered on the Huskers. Restoring and tinkering with antique cars was a favorite pastime and his pride and joy was his 1928 Model A. Survivors include his wife of 58 years, Freda of Ord; five sons and daughters-in-law, Jim and Diana of Ord, John and Birdie of Kearney, Jerry and Debra of Lincoln, Jeff and Char of Olathe, Kan., and Jason and Jill of Midlothian, Texas; three daughters and sons-in-law, Becki and Cohen Hoppes of Lincoln, Vicki and Kyle Novosad of Castle Rock, Colo., and Crystal and Jeff Stuhr of Lincoln; 23 grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren; four sisters and a brother-in-law, Regina and Gerald Zulkoski of Overton, Bernadine Silver of Ord, Marge Mroczek of Loup City and Rita McCain of California; a brother and two sisters-in-law, Syl and Winnie Augustyn of Miles City, Mont., and Audrey (Mrs. Roman) Augustyn of Portland, Ore. He was preceded in death by his parents; five brothers, Emanuel, Ernie, Carl, Roman, and Theodore; and an infant brother, Chester.
