Eugene Michael Crowley of London passed away peacefully at Victoria Hospital on June 10, 2022 at the age of 77.
​
Beloved husband of the late Jennifer “Ann” Crowley who passed heroically in 2003. Predeceased by his parents Liam and Penny Crowley. Absolute loving father of Sharon Diponio and Naomi Reintjes. Fun loving father in law to Mike Stuart and Mike Reintjes. Eugene adored his grandchildren, Matthew, Lyndsay, Ben, Jeremy (Diponio), Molly (Reintjes) and was thrilled to have a great-grandchild, Cooper.  Eugene will be fondly remembered by his sister and brothers, Charon Ackhurst, David and Alan Crowley, and predeceased by brother Barry.

Born in Dublin, Ireland and emigrating to Canada in the 60’s, Eugene spent most of his career working in executive level positions in the textile industry. He was well known for his outstanding comedic speaking abilities, worldwide travelling adventures and revered for his seemingly unlimited arsenal of ridiculously clever nicknames for all members of his family, especially his grandchildren and other assorted “slapheads”. Eugene’s family and friends will fondly, and lovingly, remember him as a gentleman and he will be greatly missed by his Waltzing Weasel family.

The funeral service will be held at Holy Family Catholic Church in London, Ontario, on Thursday June 16, 2022, at 10:00 am. Interment at St. Peter’s Catholic Cemetery to follow. In lieu of flowers, please donate to the London Run for Ovarian Cancer.
