JoAnne was a good friend in high school and I was devastated when she died.I met Gene at the Vasa 150th celebration as many of my ancestors were part of the first community-Vasa/Featherstone township. I am sorry for his passing.

Gene was a great man. He always found a way to make something good happen for people. His love of people, business, nature and the outdoors exemplified his diverse interests. Thank you, Gene for all of the positive contributions you made while here on God's green earth! Gene will be missed!
