Eugene Wendell Remick, 87, of Grandview Ave., passed away unexpectedly at the St. Johnsbury Health and Rehabilitation Center, Tuesday, October 6, 2015, with family by his side.
Eugene was born in St. Johnsbury, VT, October 15, 1927, son of the late Carl and Mabel J. (Miles) Remick. He was a lifelong resident of Danville and served in the Army Air Force during WWII in the Pacific Theater. Eugene was a skilled mechanic working for C.H. Goss Co., Walker & Brock and later for himself as Remick's Auto Clinic before retiring. He enjoyed hunting, riding his motorcycle, golf and sports in general. He coached softball 11 years in Danville and in his younger days he raced at the Northeastern Speedway. Eugene was a great Red Sox and Patriots fan, but his family was the biggest fan of him and they knew he dearly loved them. He was truly a best friend and Dad!
