We regret to advise of the death of Eugene N. Crotteau on 14 March 2001 in Quesnel BC at the age of 83 years.

Eugene was a veteran of the Second World War who served with the Royal Canadian Engineers.  After the war, he was a trapper and prospector in the area of Quesnel.  In the early 1960s, he discovered molybdenite and staked the Rusty Claim along Chiaz Creek in the Cariboo Region of BC.

Eugene was a member of the Royal Canadian Legion Branch # 94 in Quesnel.   ^{{dcOct2017gd}[zpp, zsd, zcc]}
