Not sure what to say?

I'm another grammar school guy, not in close contact but heard tidbits once in a while. I loved his remembrance of Anthony Ambra and he, releasing pigeons inside the Emporium. I'm sorry I missed him at our 40th reunion and sorry I didn't get to sample one of his Manhattans.

Gene was one of the very Best and he is gone too soon. He was our Boss and then a dear friend. Always engaging and caring. We will so miss the big hugs and fun times. Bye Hon!

With his energy, enthusiasm, and kindness, Gene made life richer for those around him. He was joy to work with and I appreciated everything he brought to the Environmental Services team. I was greatly saddened to hear of his passing. May his life be a reminder to us all that one person can make a positive difference in the lives of so many others.

Holding you in my heart. Gene was a gift.

I am so grateful that I had the chance to know Gene. He had a big heart, a zest for life and a great sense of humor. I treasure the memories of hanging out with Joan and Gene at their dinner parties, where Gene was always a delightful host (and also mixed awesome cocktails). I can't believe he's gone. Sending my love to you all.

Our hearts go out to the family, our sincere condolences

I attended grammar school at St. John´s Grammar School. Simply put he was a good guy, very smart. So sad to hear of his passing.

Dear Waddell, sending my sincere sympathy, my heart goes out to currently of great sadness. Please know that God care about you, how you feel and invite you to let help you.

Gene was a sweetheart of a man, congenial and charming, an absolute pleasure to talk with and be around. He clearly adored his "Joanie," and their life together. He will be missed and mourned by all who had the privilege to know him.
