Eugene was born January 4, 1923 to Carl and Lila McDougall Krogh in Hawley, Minnesota. He spent his young life helping out on the farm and raising animals for his 4H projects. After graduating from high school, Eugene enlisted in the Navy. He spent most of his time training on nuclear submarines, including the U.S.S. Mero.

His family loved all the fun activities he provided for them. We will all miss his sense of humor and wonderful wisdom.
