DANE-Eugene A. Hruby, age 91, died peacefully on Sunday Sept 23, 2018, at his home in Dane following a brief illness. He was born on St. Patrick's Day in Dane on March 17, 1927, to Bartl and Pauline (Schroeder) Hruby. He entered the service and served in both World War II and in Korea with the Army infantry.

He graduated from Madison Business College and went on to work for the old Federal ASCS agency with the Madison state office.

Dad retired to farm in happy retirement. Dad was a caring and concerned father. Dad was a loyal friend. If you were his friend, you WERE HIS friend! Dad was a hard worker and a fighter to the end! Dad passed peacefully at his home Sunday morning.

Rest in Peace in Heaven, Dad!
