I was shocked to hear of Gene's passing. I am
so glad I was able to come to Midland and see him this summer. Gene was a co-worker at GE for many years and a mentor to me. I will miss his wisdom and wit. He and Fran were special friends of our family for many years and we will miss his telephone calls and conversations.

Thank you MR Schutte for always be in your place in the pew and I enjoyed getting to know you. Still have the walking stick you made out of a golf club, when I broke my ankle. You were an amazing person
