Guest Book

Not sure what to say?

To Evon & Family; So sorry to hear of your lost. I just found out this past Sunday after talking with Scott at the restaurant. I ALWAYS enjoyed my time spent with Gene at the house and when we would run into each other at the car shows. It was so relaxing to talk for hours about cars, model cars & motorcycle related items with Gene at the house and oh the stories he would tell. We even traded cars years ago. I had a Ford Escort GT & Gene had a 54 Chevy.
Sorry I couldn't be there in your...

Mom,

It took me a while to be able to come on here and leave a note for this guest book. I felt I finally had been able to process where I was in my grief, how much I missed dad, and where he would want me to go from here. Where do I start? I had the wonderful pleasure of having Gene Nettles (your husband) as my father for a little over 44 years. I want you to know that I was ALWAYS and am still so proud to consider him my father, and how happy I was that he and I became such...

Will miss our dear friend. Sandy (Eddy)Millman and Hal

Evon and family,
Gene was a WONDERFUL person and he will missed by many. I consider it an honor to have known him. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Evon and family, Rose And I are so sorry about Gene. We wish we could have gone to the funeral but just got back in town today.Gene and I had some good times talking about the old Shipyard days, he was our crane operator. We would talk about going fishing, but wasn't ever able to.I will miss him very much. The breakfast will not be the same. Bud and Rose Brinson Jacksonville, Fl

Dear Zack and Michelle, and family,
we are so sorry for your loss. You know of course that if we can help in any way you need only call. We know that the love your family shares will comfort you. There is no better measure of a man than the quality of the family he has raised, and the loving quality of his family can not be doubted. You are in our prayers.

Evon & Family,
We are so sorry for your loss. You are in our thoughts & prayers. Gene was a good friend of my dad & our family. Gene came to my dads service last year when he past away. We would have been at Gene's service, But we didn't here about it until a week later. We hated that we weren't there he was like part of our famliy. Remember the good times you shared with him and take comfort in knowing that he's an angel up there with dad watching over all of us.

To Evon and all my cousins, I just read through most of the comments. I have ended up sitting here crying again. Gene, my only cousin on mom's side of the family, helped raise me since he was five years older than I. He cannot be replaced as a cousin and from what I have read here, cannot be replaced as a friend for many. He was a unique individual. I have so many happy memories of him and will miss his wonderful tales of our childhood. Love, Bonnie (Gene's Aunt Weez's daughter)

Evon and family,

We are very sad to hear of Gene's passing. Although we moved away from Jax over 15 years ago. We still remember. Your family are in our prayers. Loving memories always.
