Not sure what to say?

We have some fond memories of Geno way back to the Tommy K's and Tiny Tap softball days and playing Sunday morning basketball religiously.
We looked forward to Geno coming down our driveway with his guitar in hand each August to sing some songs at our annual Corn Roast.
We loved his stories and special lyrics that he added to his live entertainment.
Geno was a one of a kind guy and we will greatly miss his jokes, kindness and smile.
See you one the other side Geno!

Great friend, guitar player, sheepshead player, fisherman, golfer.
Always will remember him.

Mr. Sheldon was my first principal when I started my teaching career. He was such a wonderful person to work for. My favorite memory of him was when he got me to go on my very first roller coaster ride at Great America. We had taken the kids on a field trip and I had never been on a roller coaster up to that point. Long story short, I was terrified, screamed, yelled out some obscenity and there he was laughing and smiling. I had gotten hooked and have been riding roller coasters ever...

I went to high school with Gene and he was such a sweet person even as a teenager. May he Rest In Peace.

Gene was my very first principal as I began my teaching career at Greenfield Middle School. Even after I moved to Greenfield High School, he made a point to visit with me any time we were at a sporting event. He is one of the most caring and compassionate educators I have known, and I consider it an honor to have worked with and learned from him.

My sympathy to Gene's family. He was my friend, and my principal when I taught at Badger School in Greenfield. I remember when Becky was born. He was a kind, helpful and generous and will be missed. May God watch over his family.
