It was our honor and privilege to know and work with Gene and watch him play his “MAGIC” as Santa at the annual Children's Christmas Party held at the Scottish Rite each year. During these years, we have gotten to experience life at its best and have gotten to know his family better (especially a couple of his grandsons). Even though Gene is gone……our memories of him will never fade!

I'll always remember the good times we had on the golf course, and the many hours we spent together doing degree work at the Scottish Rite. Gene was truly one of the "Good Guys". I will miss him. Rest in Peace my friend.
