Not sure what to say?

I lost track of Gene about 30 years ago when I moved from the Boston area. Gene was a gentle person who I valued knowing. Im sorry my situation didnt allow my becoming closer with him. May his memory be a blesssing.

The written words about Gene don't tell everything about the man! He was so much more. We loved to listen to Gene about all subjects, and admired his wisdom, humor, kindness and thoughts. We will remember him always. Jeanine & Leo Meunier

eugene was my lawyer he was very bright person very spoken there is nothing you cant say about him that wasnt good you will be missed so much you are in a better place and not suffering my prayers are with you and yur family

Sorry to have learned late about Gene, Sue, and wish you to know you and all in your family have my prayerful support. Though acquainted briefly, it was a privilege to have shared some time and thoughts on issues we had in common. His zest and stamina are a lasting legacy. May your Faith in God's welcoming Gene provide comfort and encouragement to live, love, enjoy what must be incredible memories.

It has been very hard to hear of Gene's death. He was a sincere, bright, kind man, a huge part of so many lives in the UU Church in Waltham. His loss will be deeply felt by James and me. I thank God for his life and the love he brought to the world. Sincere condolences to Sue and all the family.

I saw Gene at our 40th reunion but I did not know that he was sick. I will remember him at the Eucharist and ask God to play the role of consoler in his family's lives.

To the family there will be pain and tears, wonder and fears but as you look deep in your heart and read the bible in part, you'll see God really cares a lot. And God will melt your tears fears and pain out of your heart. JUST READ HiS WORD IN PART.

Gene with friends Phil Smith & Debbie Rietz in Vienna, 1971.

In my mind, Gene will always be in Vienna. He was a courageous man who fought the good fight. The footprint you left was one of peace and love.

We had the privilege of sharng insightful and light moments with a truly great person. We know his life will inspire others to follow his path.
