Updating my personal information from my entry below - new email is [email protected] Belated condolences to all and sorry I missed the memorial service

I knew Gene through ALCTS, SCCTP and NASIG. I always enjoyed talking to him at conferences and appreciated his wry sense of humor. He was excellent at delivering the "Worst Serial Title Changes" awards back in the day.

My deepest sympathies to Gene's family and friends.

Gene was a marvelous cataloger, teacher, and most especially, person. He was my CONSER mentor for a few years and always provided with the help that I needed. At professional meetings, we always managed to spend time with each other. I greatly appreciated Gene. My sincerest condolences to his partner and family.

Offering condolences to your family for the loss of your loved one. May God's loving kindness and comfort help you during this difficult time. (2Thess.2;16,17)
