It is with great sorrow that we announce the passing of the patriarch of the Eberl Family, Gene Eberl, beloved husband, father, and grandfather. Gene was the cornerstone of the Eberl Family and instrumental in the formation and development of Eberl Claims Service. He was a mainstay in the catastrophe claims industry earning the respect and admiration of clients, competitors, and adjusters across the country. From his early days at Rocky Mountain Adjustment Company to his retirement from Eberl Claims Service, Gene was a respected leader, a trusted resource, a wealth of knowledge, and a reliable business partner who never compromised his values of integrity and honesty. Gene was an active member in the adjusting community, serving as President of the National Association of Catastrophe Adjusters, as well as participating as a member and associate of several other claims associations. He was a personality in our adjusting community that will never be replaced.
For all of the accomplishments that Gene achieved in the insurance adjusting business, he was a family man first and foremost. Even as a young man, Gene began developing the nucleus around which the family was built. With 4 children, 12 grandchildren, 25 great grand children, and 2 great-great children (and counting), it was a big job to bring the entire family together but Gene and his wife, Alberta, never tired of organizing and hosting the family gatherings time and time again. Spending time with family, teaching the children, and instilling the values that made him who he was in the people that loved and looked up to him was what made Gene so special. It was that dedication to family and values that made him the man he was. To put it plainly, he taught us how to live right. He was a very special person, and he will be dearly missed.
