Eugene A. Lancour, 79, of Burlington, passed away at home surrounded by family on Saturday, April 6, 2019.
He was born in Delavan on Dec. 6, 1939 to Raymond and Myrtle (nee Kinney) Lancour. He grew up with his family farming in Walworth County.
On Aug. 16, 1980 he was united in marriage to Theresa Linneman (nee Popp). They made their home in Burlington. Eugene worked for and retired from AMC/Chrysler in Kenosha. He was a member of St. Charles Borromeo Catholic Church. He loved nature, reading, playing cards – especially cribbage, and making sure everyone left with a full stomach.
Eugene is survived by his wife, Theresa; children, Eugene J. (Linda), Annette (Jack), Carla (Brian), Charles (Kathryn), Charlene (Bill), John, Lawrence, and Victoria (Ageo); several grandchildren and great-grandchildren; siblings, Arnold, Bernard (Connie), Kenneth, Mary, Edward, James (Chris), Margaret (Dennis), Elaine, and Phillip (Tracy); and sisters-in-law, Velma and Marlena. He was preceded in death by his parents; sons, Joseph and Kevin; brothers, Raymond, Richard, Howard and Ernest; sisters-in-law Patricia and Danetta; and brothers-in-law, Fred, Buck, and William.
The family would like to thank the staff at Aurora Cancer Care Center in Burlington and Aurora at Home Hospice for their care and compassion during this time.
