Eugene Pera, age 78, of Norristown, passed away peacefully on Thursday, March 30, 2023 in Philadelphia.

 Eugene was educated in Poland and, after immigrating to the United States, became an accomplished machinist, working for Philadelphia Gear Company and then finishing his career at Hale Fire Pumps, in 2010, after working there for over 20 years. He was a long time and devout member of Sacred Heart Church and was known as a very friendly man. He enjoyed being with his family, going food shopping, having talks with his neighbors, keeping some treats in his pocket for the local dogs, working in his garden and cutting the grass. He was always moving around!
