My family considered Gene as a true family friend. My dad really enjoyed sharing time and talking with Gene. My brother Stan, sister Annette, cousin David, and myself got to know him over the years after our dad passed away. Gene loved sports. He and I had good times talking about various college & professional teams. My sincere condolences to his family, friends, and loved ones. Rest in peace Gene.
