I am very sorry to hear about Gene's passing. My condolences to the Herman family. I knew Gene through his brother, Tony. We only met a few times over the years, but Gene made a very positive and lasting impression on me. All the best to your family. I will remember Gene in my prayers.

My deepest sympathies to the Herman family. I knew the Herman family through church. He would call me St Mary because that was my high school. What a beautiful person, genuinely kind and compassionate. I'm not at church right now, but he still will be in my prayers. Rest in peace, Gene, and Patrick will guide your way. Michelle Pignotti.
