Until we meet again.

My memories of Gene will never fade. For me gene was a boss, a friend, and a mentor. When I joined Gene's firm I joined a family that I am grateful for. Our entire family will miss Gene dearly but he will live on in our hearts and thoughts forever.

Here's to you Gene.

Gene loved to fish!

I worked at Gene's firm in the early 1980s as a staff auditor. It was a great place to be and I learned quite a bit from him as I embarked on an over 30 year career as an auditor.

Gene provided such comfort to our mother as she neared the end of her life. Both Gene and Linda gave her so much joy with all of their wonderful energy, layered lives, love of children and grandchildren. I loved watching our mother at the mere mention of Gene and Linda.

Gene was inspirational to many he knew. I admired his spirit and commitment to the industry. Gene, you will be missed by many! -Jessica Wong
