Eugene Alvin Oster
Eugene Alvin Oster passed away on Tuesday, May 20, 2014, in Loveland, Colorado. He was born on November 25, 1938, in Versailles, to Albert and Roxanna Oster.
He is survived by his children Allyson Rodahl of Ft. Collins, Colorado, and husband Dean; Carmen Turrill of Redwood Valley, California, and husband Mark; and Stephen Oster of Morristown, Indiana, and wife Hannah; and grandchildren: Chance, Jacob, Taylor, Schuyler, Abigail, Jax, Lily and Emma.
Gene was a kind, quiet and thoughtful man who loved to read, study and research his many and varied interests. He was lifelong learner, copious notetaker and devourer of knowledge, having graduated with a BA in 1961 from Earlham College in Richmond, Indiana, and with an MA in 1993 from Ball State University in Muncie. He was a creative handyman who tinkered with problems until an efficient solution was found and implemented. He encouraged his children to pursue education and appreciate the joy of nature. He enjoyed hiking, especially in Estes Park, Colorado. He also devoured chocolate in all forms but was especially fond of peanut M&Ms and chocolate pie.
Family gathered in Estes Park to memorialize Gene and share memories. No other services are planned.
