Condolences & Memories (1 entries)

  • It's been over 20 yrs since I last saw Gene while I was posted to 17 Wing and his name popped in my head for some reason just today. I did a Google search and was sad to learn he had passed. What a hilarious person Gene was! I can't count how many times he broke me up with laughter while he was working at the Guardhouse on base. It was a great place to work, and Gene made it all the better. I have nothing but fond memories of Gene, and my warmest thoughts are with his family. - Posted by: Steve (Former colleague) on: Oct 09, 2015
