Not sure what to say?

Gene was married to my Mother years ago, helped me get my job at J.E.T. electronics in 1978, which I will always be greatful.He and my mom Doris were very active in Amvets and Legion activities, helping and leading and volunteering many hours, and loved every minute of it. I am very proud to have known Gene, spent time in those early years with his children, had a few Holidays together, very memorable for me. I am still working at JET, BF Goodrich, Goodrich, now L-3 Avionics, here in...

We will miss you Gene, you were always joking around, especially when someone said "Hi Gene!" and you would always say "Gee you make me sound clean!!" My mom loved you very much and I am so glad you are not suffering anymore, and I was able to visit you in the hospital. You will be missed.

Gene was my boss at one time. He got promoted I got the problems! But we used to play pool together and go to the Amvets and other places together!! He was a friend who I lost contact with. Hope he is in a better place! My condolences to all his family! Jon Matthews-Wesley Chapel, FL
p.s. He enjoyed his PBR!

Elma, our condolences to you and our family. I will always remember Gene from the old JET & BF Goodrich days. He was a dedicated person who always helped you with any problem you might have. We had many fun nights bowling against him and his team, he was a very good competitor.
