Growing up on a farm with his family helped shape the man he would ultimately become, hardworking, loyal and strong. Gene studied chemistry at Oklahoma State University, obtaining a Masters degree that would ultimately take him to work for Texaco in New York. It was there that he quickly met the love of his life, Mabeth &#8220;Dolly&#8221; Cox.<\/p>\n<p>He knew after their first date that she was the one and only for him, exclaiming to friends that night, &#8220;I&#8217;m going to marry that woman!&#8221;  Together they had 47 glorious years and 5 well-loved children. Gene and Dolly both witnessed their love and family flourish to include 10 grandchildren and 1 great-granddaughter.<\/p>\n<p>Gene diligently worked for Texaco for over 33 years where he was affectionately nicknamed &#8220;Chief&#8221; by his fellow employees, a term of endearment that he proudly used throughout his adult life. Chief was a great man, blessed with an enormous heart and unwavering faith. God had used him to perform many kind and generous acts, and he will be truly missed by all.<\/p>\n<p>Please join us for a Memorial Service for Eugene Ralph Bamberger, at 11:00AM on Monday, October 8th, at Pacific Coast Church (2651 Calle Frontera, San Clemente, CA). The service will be followed by a celebration of Gene&#8217;s life.<\/p>\n<p>In lieu of flowers, the family wishes that contributions be made to the &#8220;Laguna Niguel Fire Explorers&#8221; for the New York City Fire Department relief fund.<\/p>\n<p><em>Los Angeles times<\/em> &#8211; October 6, 2001<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"page-FullWidth.php","meta":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/perryokalumni.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/7465"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/perryokalumni.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/perryokalumni.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/perryokalumni.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/perryokalumni.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=7465"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/perryokalumni.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/7465\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7473,"href":"https:\/\/perryokalumni.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/7465\/revisions\/7473"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/perryokalumni.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=7465"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
