Dear Kathy & family
I always looked up to Gene as my oldest cousin and the leader of the pack. Howard & I extend our deapest sympathy and love and prayers at this time.

Dear Kathy and family, Holly and I were saddened to learn of Gene's passing. We extend our sincere sympathy to you and his entire family. Boy did we enjoy our time with the two of you at MAFSI events. Holly, you and the girls shopping and we were on the golf course. Gene and I always played for a dime a hole and it seems to me, he usually won. He was a friend and mentor to me and I treasure his influence on my life. Best regards, Tom Borden

What a great mentor and friend, we'll miss you Gene.

Be assured my prayers are with you all.

You know Gene and I were friends for a lot of years and Enedina and I send you and your family our thoughts and prayers. I will miss Gene's visits to Kansas City and all I can say is "Class Act" is only one way to describe Gene Vader but it is the way many, many of us have always felt about this fine, fine man.
