Eugene George Sagan, 90, of Dunmore, died Monday morning at home. His wife, the former Agnes Anna Popso, died in 2013. The couple had been married for 59 years.
Born in Dunmore, son of the late Peter and Helen Serra Sagan, he was a graduate of Dunmore High School and attended the University of Scranton.

He was a devout member of St. Michael the Archangel Byzantine Catholic Church, Dunmore, a member of the Knights of Columbus and a member of the former Naphin Hill Club.
