I remember Gene from my days at SUNY Ulster. He was a kind and helpful man. While it has been a number of years since I left SUNY Ulster, I recently returned to attend an event. Gene was directing traffic. When I rolled down my car window to find out where event parking was, he recognized me. It has been over 5 years, I was impressed. My condolences to Gene's family.
