I too was a fellow “sky cop” but we didn't cross paths until the early 1990's as you were a participant in our yearly Management Forum Series. I was struck by your presence, not in stature, but by your thinking, kindness and warmth. Sorry I didn't connect with Gene regarding our experience in the USAF.
My condolences to the family

I have such wonderful/fun memories of times spent with Gene and Patty...the years of our kids being in highschool together and when making their regular dental visits to the dental office that I worked in. Just know that my heart and soul are with you at this time. I am sure Gene and Mike are now discussing sports and cars...doing alot of catching up. Gene is now whole....with love, judy mc
