Steve, I still think of your Dad and how kind he always was to me. I still miss him when I occasionally hear his name. He enjoyed cracking up people on the set when he could and telling the young folks how things work. He won't be forgotten.

Gene was my very best friend for over 20 years when I lived in SoCal. His talent was only surpassed by his generosity and his genuine love for his family and friends.
My thoughts and prayers are with Sandy, Gina, Steve and their families on this sad day.
God Bless You, Gene!

What a talented guy and a class act. Lots of talented sound mixers out there who have come and gone, but I've never heard a bad word about Gene.

I am sorry to hear that Steve passed on.
I worked in the Sound Dept. at Warners
for years. Steve was a gentleman and cosiderate person at all times.
It was a pleasure to have known him.
