To all Gene's family: I am very saddened to hear of Gene's passing. Having worked with him for many years at United Cities Gas, I know the gentle, compassionate man that he was. He was a great friend who was always there in times of trouble or need, even after he retired from the gas company. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you during this difficult time. I know that he is happy to be reunited with Alma. My husband and I mourn with you in your great loss.
