Dear Jan, I just returned from Florida to hear of Gene's passing. I am so sorry for your loss. Gene was a great guy and a very unique individual. It has been sometime since I spoke with him, since leaving Archway and moving north, but have very fond memories.

Dear Jan, Joy, Gene, JB, & Heather,

Bill and I are so sorry that Gene's time on this earth has come to an end. He was a great man, a good human being, and certainly the patriarch of his immediate and extended family for so many years since his Father was patriarch.

Our Mother, Mary-Anne Foster-Fox, held Gene in the highest regard and with a great deal of love, as he was the closest to a brother as she could have had.

We look forward to sharing stories...

Dear J.B. and family, Lance and I are so saddened to hear of your loss. Please know our thoughts are with you and may you find peace during these difficult times. God bless......... Lance and Patty Johnson

Dear Gene McKay family,

I just read all of the entries and though I only met Gene in person for a few hours, I could say many similar things about him that others said. I am a descendant of the McKay Revolutionary ancestor, so we were cousins! We talked of genealogy and in the end Gene had someone run copies of material that he shared. Also, we got a bunch of cookies. I mailed my clothes home and hand-carried the papers (and cookies) so as not to lose a thing. I did tell him...

Sorry for the loss of Uncle Gene. Although I could not attend the funeral my prayers go out to him.
Please accept our condolences.

I love you and we have a...
