Eugene R. "Beanie" Bjoin

We love you, Beanie. We will miss waving at you every day after daycare/work. Thank you for being so kind and befriending Chloe (my 5-year-old). She loved having you in her life and I loved having her love you! --Daphne Conour

I don't think I will ever forget the time when Beanie was the hero of the week. It was in the 1945-46 basketball season when Stoughton was playing basketball against some other good team, the other good team was one point ahead in the last few seconds of the game when Beanie in the center of the court make a final shot in desperation. The ball went right through the hoop- the buzzer blew and the crowd went wild! Beanie was a good man and always a gentleman. Merlin Thompson

The volunteers, flight team and board of Badger Honor Flight mourn the loss of their hero, Eugene Bjoin. We are thankful for his military service and proud to have served him on his trip to Washington, D.C. on September 14, 2013.

Debihtn@comcast.net I just discovered that we lost a long time family friend. I don’t think there was a McDaniel or Heinrich that didn’t love Beanie, He was a friend of my parents, Floyd and Georgia, since at least the late 80’s if not before. My parents have been gone for some time now, but my family and I just had lunch with him a couple of years ago while we were in Phoenix. Such a gentleman and so much fun to be around. Our thoughts go out to his family whom he spoke about quite often. He will be missed
