His sister-in-law, Patricia Cooper; and his niece and nephews, Bly Hall, Steve Hall, and Ralph Cook; and their children will also hold him in their hearts.
Col. Eubank was a graduate of Thomas Jefferson High School in Richmond, Va. and of Duke University in Durham. He also earned an MBA from the Wharton School of Business at the University of Pennsylvania. An avid Duke University basketball fan, a regular attendee of Duke Women's Basketball and an ever-optimistic Duke football fan, Col. Eubank was a Blue Devil to the last.

His early years were spent in the Pacific theater, including Vietnam, and he served several years at the Pentagon. Col.
