Not sure what to say?

I’m so sorry and send our deepest sympathy for your loss. Gene was always so friendly with everyone he met. I’m sorry we weren’t able to make it to extend our sympathy in person but are out of town right now.

Awesome man and loving father and husband! Love ya Gene!

I have known Gene most of my life. As young kids our family's and others would go to Cherry Hill in Michigan on Sundays after morning church for a fun day there. Lots of good memories. Carol and family you are in my prayers.

Grandpa Gene was a bonus grandparent for me growing up! His granddaughter Maddie and I were a package deal in most things we did. Which meant gene cheered and supported me just the same. I prided myself that my picture was even displayed on their “grandchild” wall at one time. What a wonderful man who lived life to the fullest and loved those around him abundantly. Many prayers for the whole family.

Carol—thinking of you and your family during this time. I always loved visiting with you both.

Gene was one of the Good Guys in this World! See you in Heaven!! Love Marc & Susie Powers

I will miss you Gene, you were such a great friend.

I knew Gene back in the day when he owned several c-stores. He was always a man of integrity and high standards, and he passed those traits on to Rob. Gene was always upbeat and a pleasure to talk to. He will be missed, my prayers to the family.

We are so very sorry to have lost Gene. Always a smile and a hearty handshake. He will be greatly missed. We look forward to the day when we see him in Glory.
We pray for your loss and that God will give you strength and comfort in knowing Gene is with Our Lord.

Love In Christ Jesus, Brad and Julie Myers
