Eugene "Gene" Manfrini

All of the Columbia Lions, that were fortunate to know Gene, will always
remember his inspirational leadership in all that he did with his life. RIP

Gene was an exceptional person who overcame blindness in a very positive way. We,his Columbia classmates,marveled at his ability to walk around the campus unaided.He knew every foot of ground.He was a great wrestler and competitor.He attained a level of hearing acuity that was so successful in his chosen profession. It was always amazing to me that after many years of no communication I would say "Hi Gene, and he would promptly respond, Hello Tom" Unfortunately its "Goodby Gene"... You were...

To Geno: A true icon and classmate of mine at Columbia. We played a few gigs together he on piano and me on bass. A great himan being!

Uncle Gene was an inspiration, a man of great depth and principle. Our love and prayers to Mary Ann, Liza, Marilyn and extended family, we will be out to see you soon.

He is my father, my "Daddy". A man who is so much more than a man, he will live on forever inside me. I am proud to call him "Daddy" and I will miss him. Even during our last conversation, he still left me with a lesson. A lesson which I've learned and now live. What a great man! What a LEGEND....a LEGACY!

I feel very blessed to have some of the same blood in my veins as Uncle Gene. He will be sorely missed by all.
My Love to all the family,
Irene

If this is Eugene Manfrini - our former piano tuner - I couldn't be more sorry = he was an incredibly special person for whom I had great respect. He was a great man.

Sorry to hear about your lost Gene will be missed by all that knew him .God bless all of you!
