My sincere condolences to the Carlin Family. And to those who were blessed to have Gene in their lives.
I first met Gene in Junior Highschool. It wasn't long before I absolutely loved this guys wit and uncanny sense of humor. We shared so many cherished memories.
I first met Gene's sister Marby at Hamden Plains Park where she worked for the Park and Rec summer program. Then his sister Jane through mutual friends also at Hamden Plains Park. They are truly unique and beautiful people.
I will forever love you Gene. I am grateful that our paths crossed in this life. Rest peacefully until we meet on the other side.

Gene! I'm so sad to hear this news. Wow, lots of memories my friend!
I had the best time going to Chicago with you for Mike & Pat's wedding all those years ago. I'll always remember you with a smile. May you rest in peacefulness and power and be a shining light and guardian angel for all of us. Much love to your family & friends.

Gene had a wonderful way with words. I loved his openness and ability to express himself. His honesty and compassion were refreshing in a place that oftentimes lacked both. I wish his spirit peace, love, and continued adventures in the hereafter.

Eugene was better known as G Money. He was authentic, charismatic, and funny. He always had a positive outlook on his situation. It was a pleasure meeting him and he will forever be in my memory.

I have many memories with Gene. We went to Junior High and High School together. But it is the memory of the extracurricular activities that really stands out to me in the expanse of all the time that has transpired. He introduced me to Dan Hicks and his Hot Licks and also It's a Beautiful Day way back when. We went to Deutschland together. I'm so sorry to hear of his passing.

I'm so sorry for your loss. The Carlin family lived down the street where I grew up. I remember Marby and playing with Jerry, Chrissy and "Gene and Jane". They always were a fun and loving family. I hope your memories will give you peace.
