Eugene R. Krug

Eugene “Gene” Krug passed from this life on Thursday, June 29, 2023, at McLeod Hospice Care in Florence, South Carolina.

Born on August 3, 1955, Gene was the son of the late Robert “Bob” and Gloria (Carbaugh) Krug.

He was a 1973 graduate of Delone Catholic High School and 1977 graduate of Mount St. Mary’s College.

Gene is survived by his uncle Frank (Shirley) Carbaugh of Hanover. As an only child, his cousins were like brothers and sisters to him. Those cousins include Jack and Kenny Krug, Cindy Krug Smith, Tom, David, Tony and Dan Carbaugh, Michele Glatfelter, Stephanie Merck, Beth McMaster, and Julie Brady. He is predeceased by Scott and Randy Krug, and Rick Carbaugh. Gene also had many, many friends in Myrtle Beach who became his family.

In his younger years he enjoyed playing softball on local teams. Gene was involved in the operation of Hustler’s Crab House in McSherrystown for many years prior to settling in South Carolina where he spent the remainder of his years. Gene loved playing the horses and watching sports on ESPN including the NCAA basketball playoffs and college softball. When he was back home to visit, he never missed the chance to go to the hot dog shop, Starlight Diner, and Greenmount Station. Gene was full of stories and had an infectious laugh that made him bigger than life. We will certainly miss those phones calls that always started with, “Hi Cuz.”  The family would especially like to thank Jill Morris and Shane Wahco for their kindness and friendship.

We will gather to celebrate Gene on Saturday, September 23, 2023, with the family receiving friends at 10:00 am at the Kenworthy Funeral Home & Crematory, Inc., 269 Frederick Street, Hanover, PA 17331. Burial will follow at 11:00 am at Rest Haven Cemetery, Hanover, PA, with Rev. Philip Burger officiating.

Please keep the family of Eugene R. Krug in your thoughts and prayers.
