Happy Eugene Day! 🌺

Happy Eugene Day! 🌺

Today, we celebrate an amazing man who we talked with nearly every day for two and a half years.

While HappyTalks memberships include 1–3 calls per week, Eugene's family created a custom plan just for him - making him our only daily call.

He became family to our team, and he shared stories that will always bring a smile to our faces:

🎭 Working with the Rockettes at Radio City Music Hall as a teenager

✈️ Signing up for a U.K. vs. Korea deployment- a decision that saved his life

🎺 Seeing Winston Churchill at a parade in London

🚢 Sailing on big band cruises

🌍 Living in 16 different locations, with his most meaningful years in Hawaii through his service in the Air Force

This year, we made it official: April 1st is Eugene Day at HappyTalks.

He forever left an imprint on our hearts, and we will make sure to pass that love on. 💛
