Eugene "Gene" M. Sturdevant

Lu and family, my deepest condolences. My girls (Janis & Julie Rich) and I will always remember your dear husband, father, grandfather as one kind principal at Lakeview Elementary. May your memories bring you all peace. Kindest regards, Mary (Rich) Shaw. God bless!

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

I went to Hawthorne from ‘59-‘66, and remember being a “bit” scared of Mr. Sturdevant. Not because he tried to intimidate me, but because of how he so effectively used his voice to gently show authority. Plus I was a timid kid, so it took almost nothing for me to be “a bit scared”. The one time I was sent to the office, I sat in his own office as I recall. He was businesslike because he had to be, but kind. He and my late Dad were fellow Kiwanians, and for decades sold hot dogs at Regent and Breese Terrace. All the times I bought a hot dog and can of pop from him I could never address him as anything other than Mr. Sturdevant. He would always chuckle and ask how I was doing. My condolences to the Sturdevant family. He was a very good man.

Uncle Gene was well-loved and will be missed. It was an honor knowing him. Sending much love to you all. Erin and the girls

I have many good memories of kiwanis with conventions with Gene and Lue he will definitely be missed
