Kenneth Eugene Bush, 87
|
|
|
Friend, neighbor, mentor, patriot, and community activist – all these descriptors apply to Kenneth Eugene Bush who died at the Irvine Health and Rehabilitation Center on August 17, 2017. Eugene was born August 12, 1930, to Kenneth William and Bess Abney Bush. He grew up in Ravenna and graduated from Ravenna Elementary School and Irvine High School (Class of 1948).
After 2 years at Eastern Kentucky State College, Eugene enlisted in the U.S. Navy; he served 4 years during the Korean War. He trained at Whidbey Island near Seattle, Washington, and was sent to Hawaii for duty. During most of the war, he was stationed at Atsugi Naval Air Station in Japan and spent time patrolling the coast with Patrol Squadron VP772. He and Holbie Holbrook returned to Japan in 2004 for a reunion and tour of the country with daughter, Ellen, and former Navy comrades.
Eugene went back to E.K.S.C. after the war and graduated with honors in 1956, earning a bachelor’s degree in Accounting and Business Administration. He worked briefly for the Kentucky Department of Revenue in Frankfort, KY before moving to Covington as a Field Auditor for the Internal Revenue Service in Cincinnati, Ohio.
During this period, Eugene wooed and wed Janice Hisle on August 9, 1958. A year later (1959), the young Bush family moved back to Irvine to partner with Eugene’s mother, Bess Abney Bush, in the Estill Insurance Agency. Ellen Leslie Bush, their daughter, was born soon after the move.
In 1969, Eugene founded Estill Federal Savings and Loan which is now U.S. Bank in Irvine. He retired as CEO from the bank in 1992 after it merged with First Federal Bank in Richmond. He still walked from his home to the bank every day for a cup of coffee, making sure the bank was operating to his standards as a member of its Board of Directors.
Although retired from banking, Eugene still found time to file income taxes for many clients and to advise them on real estate and other investments. His numerous courses at U.K. about taxes paid off for his clientele, especially when they needed help with audits. Eugene helped many families settle estates and managed finances for elderly friends. He was a life-long member of Ravenna Christian Church where he served as Elder and Deacon.
Eugene was a 32nd Degree Mason for over 60 years, serving a term as the Master of Irvine Masonic Lodge #137. He was also a member of the Scottish Rite; Irvine Chapter #357, Order of the Eastern Star; and the Oleika Shrine.
At the time of his death, Eugene was the oldest member of the American Legion in Estill County. He also belonged to the Estill County Genealogical and Historical Society.
Eugene believed in giving back to his community. He was elected to the Irvine City Council, was a director for the Irvine Housing Authority, served as a member of the Natural Bridge Park Board, was a member of the Estill County Democratic Executive Committee, and was a Marcum and Wallace Hospital Board member for 13 years. His favorite opportunities for service stemmed from his membership in the Irvine-Ravenna Kiwanis Club. He was named Kiwanian of the Year in 1986 and 2000-2001; received the Legion of Honor in 201; the Distinguished Service Award in 2005, 2009, and 2010; and won the George F. Hixson Award in 2007. He was a Kentucky Colonel.
Eugene worked hard at to stay fit. He walked and rode his Schwin bicycle all over town. His registration every year for the Mountain Mushroom Festival 5K Race meant that the committee had to continue to raise the age limit.
Kenneth Eugene Bush loved Estill County, his family, his church, and his community. He will be missed. Visitation will be on Tuesday, August 22 at Ravenna Christian Church beginning at 10:00 a.m. with the funeral service at 1:00 p.m. with Rev. Tony White officiating. Masonic Rites will take place at West Irvine Cemetery at the graveside. Pall bearers will be the American Legion Honor Guard. Honorary pall bearers will be Elders and Deacons of Ravenna Christian Church.
Survivors include wife, Janice Bush, daughter, Ellen, and brother-in-law, Leon Hisle, as well as several special cousins and a host of friends. The family appreciates Eugene’s care at Marcum Wallace Memorial Hospital and Irvine Health and Rehabilitation Center. Special thanks go to Gene’s friends and caregivers, Loraine Campbell and Mildred Gray. The family requests memorials be made to the Marcum Wallace Memorial Hospital Foundation or Ravenna Christian Church.
James 3:13 gives an apt description of Eugene Bush’s formula for living: “Who is wise and understanding among you? Let them show it by their good life, by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom."
Warren F. Toler Funeral Home is in charge of arrangements.
