Eugene L. Kadel was born to Frank Joseph and Lena Heller Kadel on June 25, 1913 on a family farm near Scottsville, Kansas. After a long life of 96 years, he passed away Thursday afternoon, August 6, 2009 at the Sunset Home in Concordia, Kansas.
Gene attended the Scottsville schools and later went on to graduate from the University of Kansas.
Following graduation, Gene moved to Hartford, Connecticut and worked for Pratt and Whitney, and was united in marriage to Mary Kelly on June 25, 1941. This union was blessed with five children Bob, Terry, Mike, Cathy, and Susie.
In 1942, they moved back to Kansas where they joined his family on the farm near Scottsville. A short time later, Gene and Mary moved to his present home where he spent his working years as a farmer and rancher in Jewell and Mitchell County. Following Mary's death, he later married Ruth Ruud on November 2, 1969.
Gene was an honest man who was always willing to offer a helping hand. He dedicated many years to singing in church choirs, serving as a school board member, and participating in community parades with his beloved mule "Boots." Gene loved a good joke and his politics.
In later years he enjoyed watching KU football and basketball games with his family. The grandchildren and great grandchildren were his pride and joy.
Gene was preceded in death by his parents, his wives Mary and Ruth; his brothers Harold and Ivan Kadel and sisters Helen Kadel and Ruth Louderbaugh and husband Bob.
