Our deepest Condolances to Fran and all the family. We are deeply saddened by the loss of our very dear friend Gene. I have known Gene for over 30 years and I felt a very strong connection to him from the first time I ever met him. He was an extremely refined man with a very outgoing personality and honesty that came from the heart. He was a wonderful husband, father, son, grandfather, brother and a very true friend to those of us that had him in our lives. Not having him in our lives will leave a large gap that will never be filled. He was a wonderful salesman and worked hard all his life. Going to the Keg every year with Gene and Fran for my birthday will seem very strange without my dear friend Gene there eating his ribs and then always his Billy Miner pie. God how he loved that pie. Rick always enjoyed talking sports with Gene. They shared many interests in talks about the Good Old Days. Rick always admired Genes honesty and integrity. You’re gone now Gene, but you’ll never be forgotten. Love you Gene, You are in Gods hands now, God Bless you - Posted by: Darlene and Richard Tod (Friends) on: Jan 29, 2024
