Mr. Eugene "Pete" Furline, age 81, of Meridian went to his heavenly home on Sunday, September 19, surrounded by his family.

Pete was born in Elkmont, Alabama on October 13, 1939 to the late Buford and Eula Furline. He joined the United States Army in 1960 where he served for 6 years. He worked briefly for Burlington Industries in Stonewall before beginning a career in insurance sales. He retired from selling insurance when he turned 65. Pete loved dirt track racing and was an owner and mechanic of cars that raced at Whynot. He was a member of a hunting club but spent more time cooking at the camp than hunting. He was loving husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather.
