My deepest condolences to the Cornell Family. I remember well, when I first met Gene. At the furniture store. He was so helpful and personable. This man never met a stranger, and never forgot one, either. Gene will be missed, and leaves all who knew him with memories, that will make us smile.

We met Gene and his wife only one time, at a dinner at the Holy Rosary parish hall. I had heard of him often times from people in Warrenton. Almost everything that was beautifully written about him in his obituary I learned in that one evening! What a kind, gentle, smiling, knowledgeable, and faithful filled man! What a gem! Rest in Peace Gene. You have earned it! Our sympathies to the family.
