Gene was one of the finest men I have ever known. It was truly blessing and honor to have known and worked with him.

It is not normal to have to lose someone to death after you've come to love and cherish them. That is why God promises to swollow up death forever. He also promises thar our dead loved ones will live again.(Isaiah 25:8&26:19. My sympthy goes out to your family in this time of sorrow.

Judging by these earlier entries, it is evident that Gene was as wonderful to work with and for as he was to have as a neighbor. Elizabeth, Holly and Michael, you know how much we love all of you and how much we too will miss Gene. We have always said for 22 years that we could not possibly have been given better neighbors and friends. You know we are here for you and will help in any way we can.

Elizabeth, Holly and Michael, I met the three of you only briefly at the Relay for Life but I felt I'd known you longer because to know Gene was to know Elizabeth, Holly and Michael too. I'll never forget that laugh of Gene's that could be heard throughtout the entire 4th floor at Delta. I am deeply sorry for your loss and you are all in my prayers.

It has been an honor and priviledge to know and work with Gene. I was priviledged to meet his wife and family at the Relay and my heart and prayers go out to you guys. His smile and his laughter are so heartwarming and will never be forgotten. Lots of love!

I had the honor and privilege to know, work with, and work for Gene for 21 years! When you met Gene, you met Elizabeth, Holly, and Michael as well! He was the ultimate family man! Gene loved his family and you knew it! His family became my family and my family became his family! I watched his kids grow up as he did mine and shared in life events. He has wonderful wife and two wonderful children. He has a tremendous legacy in them! He also loved his co-workers and those that worked for him. I have never heard anyone say a disparaging comment about Gene! And that includes those of us who worked for him as well! And that is a tremendous feet considering he was in supervision for most of his 29 years of at Delta. Gene will be missed and never forgotten!!! Gene brought people together in life, in his suffering with cancer, and in his much too early death. I could tell thousands of "Geneisms", but I want. I have written a lot of them down to help me cope with my grief this last week. I will close with this! I received a call from Gene’s precious daughter Holly on Saturday morning and she game me the most comforting words I could have ever heard! She said, “daddy went dancing with Jesus at 9:45 Friday evening and isn’t in pain anymore!” It reminds me of the words spoken by Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ in John 14:1-3 “Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father’s house are mansions: if were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go to prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there you may be also.” Gene beat us home. And ONE DAY will see him again!!!

I worked with Gene for over 18 years, in which the last 9 years he was my boss. He was a great boss and a great friend. I can't believe he's gone. He will be so dearly missed and I'm glad he's not suffering anymore. He fought the good fight and in the end, he won!

There's not much to say except I'm so grateful that I was able to be a part of his life for a short time. I will miss his laugh as I'm sure alot of us at work will. I will also miss his poundcakes!!

My thought and prayers are with his family but I hope my memories will stay with me forever.

I spent many year's working with Gene at Delta, and there was not a better person or man. His family is in my prayers, and thoughts.

I did not know David well enough, but all of us suffer from the feeling of loosing a love one in death. I am sorry that you have lost David.

I was writing a message for depressed ones. Someday in the future, our loved ones will live again on a paradise earth, filled with righteous people (Psalms 37:11). We will never have to worry about death anymore. At 1 Corinthians 15:26, it says: “As the last enemy, death is to be brought to nothing.” “There will a resurrection of the righteous and the unrighteous” (Acts 24:15). We will have a chance to see our loved ones again.

Once again I’m sorry for your lost. And I hope this have provided comfort for you. And let Jehovah continue to comfort you in your time of depression.
