Not sure what to say?

My deepesy sympathy to Gene's family. I was very privledged to know Gene as a fellow aviator, a friend, and a great attorney who represented my family over the years. He will be greatly missed by all.

Just a note to say that news of Gene's passing reached Florida. I will always remember him as a cheerful friendly and warm gentleman. He was a pleasure to visit with and discuss the world of insurance claims. Best to all.....

It is comforting to know when a man who brought so much to his community and his country as Mr Okey obviously did, that his legacy of great character, integrity and zest for life will not pass away with him. But rather we have the great pleasure to see it continue on in his loved ones. Having the privilege to know his son Steve it is very easy to see the great man Mr. Okey was and the amazing life he blazed. For we can see those same traits in Steve and I am sure in all of those who were...

Please accept my sincere condolences.

We are sorry to hear about the loss of your father. Your family will be in are thoughts and prayers.

Charlotte and I are saddened by Gene's death. I remember Gene when he was trying the Jeep case. We were on the same floor in the Citizens Building. Shortly after we became frineds.

Gene lived the American dream. I changed his life and became the best and brightest in his field. All will miss him.

Stan and Charlotte Greenwald

I am truly saddened to hear about the passing of one of Canton's finest.
Not just a fine Attorney but an example of what it means to be a role model. His values and character are what made him someone that you wanted to be like. Someone to emulate. He led by example, with a legacy hard to equal.
Take care Steve.

My deepest condolences to the whole family. Mr. Okey was a wonderful man! I learned a lot from him and am so greatful for the opportunities he provided for me. I am very saddened by your passing, but wish you peace. I think of the Okey family quite often. May God comfort your family and know how very loved you all are. Thank You, Mr. Okey. My deepest sympathy to the whole family.


Barb, My deepest sympathy.
