He always had a smile and was always fun to be with. Played many a round of golf with Gene and enjoyed every one. And he always had a hot car. There's a lot of us who will miss you, Gene. Salut!

I have known Gene for many years at Sequoyah CC and the Oakland zoo..he ALWAYS has a smile on his face..I loved playing in the late afternoon with him...he struggled with golf but NEVER once did he complain..a few years ago something clicked and he was SO happy to be competitive
I shall miss you Gene..fortunately I have some fond memories to hold in my memory bank

I remember Eugene when your family owned the grocery store
at the end of Brooklyn Avenue. I remember him playing in the
grocery store when we all were going to Cleveland Elementary
School....My family lived up the hill on Newton Avenue.
Very sorry to hear of his passing. Holding onto the good memories. Vicky Young Jennings

What a great guy! Contributing so much in so many ways, but never drawing attention to himself and what he accomplished so graciously. So unassuming. So gentle and supportive. Gene will be sorely missed at Rotary by this extended family.
