Cmsgt. Eugene Vincent "Gene" Mittuch, Usaf (Ret.)

In the early morning hours of Friday, June 16, 2017, Gene Mituch, 82, passed away peacefully.

Gene was born on December 27, 1934 in New Milford, New Jersey to the late Eugene P. and Anna Huljack Mittuch.

Upon retirement from the military, Gene became an evolving entrepreneur in Byron by first developing a mobile home park and concluding with founding a housing development and becoming a licensed builder.

Along with his parents, he was preceded in death by his son, USAF Colonel Stephen Mittuch.

His memory will forever be treasured by his loving wife, Eileen Evans Mittuch; daughter, Anna Mittuch Lowery (Harold); son, Col. Eugene Mittuch, USAF (Ret.) (Stephanie); daughter-in-law, Cynthia Mittuch; daughter, Patricia Mittuch Compton (Jason); seven grandsons, and one granddaughter.
