Not sure what to say?

Our wonderful, loving, fabulous, funny friend. We will miss you. We're sorry for the late message but just found out today that he's moved on to another glorious place.

So remembering Gene from childhood and he and my brother were so full of shenanigans !!

Gene Chaput. A life so well lived, never taking, always giving. We who remain behind should each take a slice of Gene's life legacy and make it a part of our own to keep his spirit alive and our own self-worth a bit better. I've reconnected with him fairly recently after being a softball team-mate many moons ago. It was as if we had been on the field together just yesterday.

Wonderful memories of shared Easter Bunny activities and learning that the night before was too early...the critters got most of `em! Well all miss Clean Gene - truly one on a kind.

Jenny and Susan Thomas were fortunate to have an egg throwing contest from our cars with Gene on a bright and sunny day - it was a deliciousness mess no one missed and we all thought we´d won - well played with love

Chaput Family, Next May's Olympic Club Fifty Year + Dinner has lost a bright light. Your dad was a though competitor every year in the Strength and Fitnesss Competition Downtown A couple of years ago he appreciated the fitness upgrades at Lakeside and transitioned to working out there. It was a shock to me to see his picture on The List of Olympians Passed. Hoping to see you all on Thrusday. Best, Ed Reidy

The most loyal of friends, the most stalwart of neighbors. ("Greater love hath no man than he who will come and unplug your plumbing on a Sunday night.") Also a storyteller beyond compare and a gifted mischief.
