Uncle Gene will always be remembered by me. I enjoyed our times together in the garage with his truck.
He used to make me laugh. He was lot's of fun. I wish I could have spent more time with him. He will be missed by me.

Thelma and Family: We will miss seeing Gene sitting in his open garage enjoying the sun and talking to the neighbors. We enjoyed the tomatoes he raised and was so proud of.

We know that Gene will be missed by his family and many friends. It's been quite a few years since we had seen him, but like Dee expressed, we do remember all the fun times at the delta. Those are memories that none of us will ever forget. Our love goes out to the family.

Gene will be dearly missed by Bob and I. We have such wonderful memories of the times that we spent together...especially at the delta. I will miss our special conversations on the phone and when we were together. He's been a very special person in my life. I remember always kidding him by saying "Are you sure I'm not your daugher?" because in some ways we were so much alike. We love and miss you Gene.
