Not sure what to say?

We just learned of your family loss. We hope that our Lord brings you and your family the much needed comfort and peace during this sad time. Our condolences and love to you and your family.

Carolee and family--just learned of Gene's passing. My dad and mom, Roy and Helen Demanes, absolutely loved Gene and his piano music. My mom requested that I talk to Gene about playing at her 90th birthday party two years ago and Gene seemed genuinely disappointed when he learned it conflicted with a Florida trip. Hope he's playing for her now.

So sad to hear of Gene's passing. So many great memories of Gene at Jim's Steakhouse over 32 years! He was truly a real gentleman and a great friend. Will miss you Gene.

So sorry to hear of Mr. Farris' passing. As a student of PHHS Class of '75, I knew him as a teacher and a Principal. As a pianist in my younger years, he truly was an inspiration to me, hearing that he continued his love of piano for many years. My thoughts and prayers to your family during this difficult time.

Carolee,
All the Roth children have such wonderful memories of Gene. We were so blessed to have known such a fine man.

R.I.P. AND MAY PEACE BE GIVEN TO THE WHOLE FAMILY.

Mr. Farris was an outstanding man. I was privileged to have him at PHHS. Would see him out and about and he always remembered me. Great man. Kind man

My sincere condolences to Gene's family. I was a classmate of Gene at Spalding Institute.
