Eugene A. Ference

I was very sad to hear of the passing of my dear old friend Gene Ference. We grew up about two years in age difference and residing only a hundred feet apart for our entire lives. I will miss you Gene. We were both Weston natives, both good friends. So sorry to hear that we will not meet again in this life. George Guidera, Former First Selectman of Weston.

Gene was a very dear friend from when we were classmates at Cornell & through the years, we've kept in touch. He & Michou were always so thoughtful & gracious... & fun to be with. Was pleasantly surprised to see him last at a Cornell event in NY last Nov '23 & promised to get together again even if we lived halfway around the world. Will miss him but glad he is now reunited w/ the love of his life, Michou.

"We are all here for a micro instant. We don´t fret about the eternity which preceded us, and we obsess about the eternity to follow. Yet, in the 4fh dimension of time, each moment is also an eternity. For us, mere mortals, the shame is when we waste those moments, as the sum total reverberates forever, happy or sad, as it emanated from the beginning. It is not how long we live which matters, but rather how we live." On behalf of myself, and the Regiment of Graduates, his many friends,...

We lived next door to Gene and Michou for 35 years, sharing the Saugatuck River and meadow behind our homes.

We could go months without seeing each other, typical in our town, but when we did get together their warmth, energy and affection was so nourishing to our family as they were an important part of it. Just knowing they were there was comforting to us for so longwe’d oftentimes share that thought and promise to make plans

When Michou passed suddenly, we knew Gene...

It was sad to hear of his passing. He was making plans to visit the west coast and us in Eugene, Oregon. We will miss him as we shared many good times and memories.

Larry and Family: Please accept our deepest sympathy on the passing of Gene. We will always remember your family - mom, dad, Gene, Edward and visits to your lovely home in Weston. R.I.P. Gene. The Readey Family
