Dear Maria and Family,

Gene was one of the most "upbeat" and encouraging men that I have known. I never saw him without a friendly word and smile. He always made me feel happy, and leaves good memories as he takes his deserved rest in God's Holy City.

Prayers and best wishes,
Mary Sue & Dick Dougherty

I know you are saddened by this loss, but trust you can celebrate the life of your dad and grandfather.
