FREY -- EUGENE WALTER Lt. Col. (Ret.) USAF, Eugene (Gene) Walter Frey, 75, a resident of Albuquerque since 1976, peacefully passed away on August 26, 2007 and is now in the arms of our Lord. Gene was many things to many people but foremost a man who loved God was dedicated to his wife and family and loyal to his friends. The saying 'he never met a stranger' surely applied as often times he would stop and chat because everyone had a story and a value. Gene had a special wit and was always welcoming of new friends and acquaintances. Gene was born in Canton, Ohio on September 5, 1931. He spent his childhood in Canton and graduated from McKinley High School. He received his Engineering degree at the University of Cincinnati, his BS degree in Meteorology from the University of Chicago and completed his Masters degrees at the University of Michigan. He married Janice Mulheim in 1952 and they enjoyed 55 wonderful years together. Gene proudly served in the United States Air Force as a meteorologist and engineer for 24 years. Following his retirement in 1978, he continued in the engineering field with the University of New Mexico and the City of Albuquerque. Gene is survived by his loving wife, Jan of Albuquerque; son, Mark and daughter-in-law, Nancy of Michigan; grandson, Ben of Georgia, granddaughter, Hannah of Michigan; daughter, Laura of Oklahoma; son, John of Washington D.C.; brother, Denver; sister, Lois; sister-in-law, Joan Rupert; brother-in-law, Don Mulheim and wife, Barb all of Ohio and many loving nieces, nephews, and cousins who will forever miss him. Dad, if love could have kept you, you would still be here with us.
