We attended Celebration Center with Gene and Nellie and found Gene to be a loving, thoughtful and caring man. He was a perfect reflection of our Lord and an example on how to live a Christian Life. He is in Heaven now but will be missed deeply. Our prayers are with Nellie and family. The Hiebs, Tacoma, Wa. (currently in Indio, Ca.)

It’s been many years since I met “Gene”. He assisted at my marriage to Nellie’s sister, Irene. I remember his smile: so wide it nearly reached his ears. Life can be long, satisfying and bumpy; but significant people are its milestones. Nellie and the girls: cherish his memory, a wonderful father, a compassionate husband and one of His pastors.

Aunt Nellie, Kathie, and Janelle,
It is times like these that I wish even more that CT and WA were not so far away from each other. That way we could be there in person instead of just in spirit and in prayer.
Uncle Gene's gentle voice, warm smile, caring nature, and tremendous faith made him a very special person. And a very special uncle.

We met Gene and Nellie at Celebration Center and spent many wonderful time and fellowship with them and other seniors. We are at our home in Indio, CA and will not be at the memorial service. But we know he is in a better place now. Blessings to Nellie and the extended family.

He was a good man. I can remember when I was in jr. high at Aylen Janelle took me to find an azalea for my mom for mother's day --- I didn't have enough money, but her father could see how much I wanted it for my mom so he sold it to me for what I had. I will never forget that he was such a generous man.
