Obituary:
Eugene Maw

June 19, 1938 - March 21, 2020
Born in Chelan, Washington
Resided in Corvallis, Oregon

Obituary
Eugene R. Maw was born in Chelan, Washington, on June 19, 1938. He died peacefully in the presence of his family in Corvallis, Oregon, on March 21, 2020. He died of pneumonia, a complication of the stroke he experienced in September 2019. He was preceded in death by his wife of nearly 50 years, Judy (Stitt) Maw, in 2014.
Although born Raymond Eugene, he preferred "Gene" and was known to many as "Geno." He was a friend to all who knew him. In his 81 years of life, it would be a challenge to uncover anyone who did not thoroughly enjoy Geno's kindness, humor, sly smile, trademark chuckle, pride in his family, and enjoyment of sports. Although he could carry on a conversation with just about anybody, Geno was an especially good listener who asked strategic questions to keep the conversation going. He had a genuine knack for making people feel welcome in his life. His daughters remember that it was rare to go anywhere without someone enthusiastically shouting out, "Hey, Geno!"
Gene will be greatly missed by his family, but also by many others. Every Saturday morning he walked the track and ate breakfast at Green Meadows Country Club with his friends Tom, Phil, and Bob, who were also part of his long-lasting tennis family. He routinely enjoyed season tickets to the Blazers with his friend, Doug. His neighbors -- Brenda, Rick and Terri, and Jim and Cory -- all remember Gene as someone who never missed a chance to wave and say hello. At the Ilani Casino, Gene was known as "Mean Gene" for his extraordinary luck at the gaming tables, especially Craps. And even in the last six months, as he was confined to skilled nursing facilities, he continued to make friends with his caretakers. His family often heard, "Gene? I love him!" as they visited. One of Gene's most loved nicknames was "Grampa Dog," as he enjoyed his eighbor's dogs and frequent visits by family dogs, Scout and Monty ("The Boys") and Rex. The dogs will miss Gene's joy at seeing them and his not-so-secret stash of treats. In the words of Gene's friend, Ernie, "The world would be a better place with more Geno's in it!"
Of all the things Gene found interest in, baseball was one of the most important. Gene had a lifelong passion for the game. Baseball delighted Gene, from an early childhood ritual of listening to the Yankees on a transistor radio, to annual Mariner games at Safeco Field with his daughter, Beth, and occasionally other family members. He was a superb resource in Trivial Pursuit for all baseball questions. Some of his favorite players were Mickey Mantle, Don Drysdale, and ultimately, Mariner DH, Edgar Martinez. He even had a growing "Edgar" collection in his den. Gene made two trips to Spring Training in Arizona; the first to celebrate his retirement in 2000, and the second, in 2017, to experience a shared love of baseball with Beth.
Gene is survived by two daughters, June Morris and Beth Maw, and two grand-daughters, Katharine (Satak) Sullivan and Sarah Satak. Gene warmly welcomed June's husband, John Morris; Beth's partner, Robert Lewis; Katharine's husband, Brandon Sullivan; and Sarah's partner, Kyle Toole, into his family. He also considered John's children, Jessie Eby Morris and Scott Morris, as family. A doting grandfather, who enjoyed seeing his grandchildren in soccer games, Cross Country meets, school programs, and more, Gene remained eager to hear what was going on, whether it was work stories, vacations, or animal antics. Gene was pleased to
be at the heart of a busy and growing family, participating in holiday celebrations, weddings, and more ordinary get-togethers like dinners out at Burgerville or Applebees. One of his most recent favorite memories was last year when several members of the family celebrated his birthday and Father's Day by spending the day at the Washington Park Zoo together. He was exceptionally proud to attend Sarah's graduation from Oregon State University in 2016 and was anticipating attending Katharine's graduation from OSU this spring.
Gene is also survived by a sister, Linda Sattem, her husband of 43 years, David Sattem, and nephew, Mark Sattem (all of Vancouver). Linda and her cousin, Judy, remember Gene as a "wonderful soul" and Linda is thankful for "the best big brother possible." Over the years, he enjoyed frequent lunch dates with Linda, and shared an interest in music with Linda and David.
Gene also looked forward to the annual family foosball tournament at Linda and David's. Gene relished the intense but friendly rivalry of this event, playfully bragging that he was "Champion of the World" in his best Howard Cosell imitation after he scored a goal.Gene met his wife, Judy, on a co-ed bowling league and they married in 1964. They did not live lavishly, but they enjoyed time with family and friends, gathering around the pool table in the basement and visiting frequently. Family outings included trips to the beach, the zoo, and
OMSI, and always eating out on Saturday night. Gene and Judy took their own daughters to Disneyland, a trip that was repeated twice in later years when they took each grand-daughter on a special trip to both Disneyland and San Diego. In retirement, Gene and Judy enjoyed travel to some new places, including Gene's first and only journey outside the US: a much-longed for Caribbean Cruise. Before Judy's death, they dreamed of going on an African safari so they could see the exotic animals that so fascinated them.
Gene was the son of Glenn and Irene (Bertwell) Maw, Dust Bowl refugees who left farming in Nebraska in the 1930s, relocating to Chelan, Washington, to work in the apple orchards. Gene liked to tell the story that he was "born in an apple crate." Glenn and Irene moved west with Glenn's brother (Forrest, known as "Frosty") and cousin (Don, known as "Pepper") and the three families later moved to Vancouver during WWII to seek work in the many wartime industries.
Gene grew up in Vancouver, graduating from Fort Vancouver High School in 1956. Before and after a brief stint in the US Army, Gene followed his father into work at one of the local canneries. Gene also worked at Nicolai Door Company in Portland for several years. He was an ardent believer in unionized work and was thankful for his pension and retiree benefits from the Teamsters.
Gene considered himself "the world's happiest retiree," spending hours reading biographies and action stories, playing tennis, and savoring a relaxed pace of life. He enjoyed sunny days and simple pursuits. If anyone was up for a game of golf, he would break out his clubs. Gene also loved playing games like Yahztee and Chicken Foot with his family, usually recording his name on score sheets as "Winner," just to taunt everyone else. Despite these playful jests, Gene was reliably everyone's number one fan. He shared in his family's victories, large and small, and was a compassionate listener when we suffered a setback. His memory lives on in the many memories we made with Gene who was our Dad, Grampa, "Geno," and "Grampa Dog."
For those who would like to honor Gene's memory, the family is asking for donations to the Vancouver Public Library system. In retirement, Gene always had a book in progress!
