Not sure what to say?

So sorry to hear about Geno. Enjoyed working with Geno our Forest Service days

Dear Pam and family. Just today I learned of Geno´s passing. Geno and my late spouse, Glen Johnshoy, were great friends and running buddies. Geno was a true and faithful friend to Glen during the last days of his life. I will always remember his kindness and compassion. I am deeply saddened to hear of Geno´s passing. Pam, I would like to offer my support as we share grief for two amazing men.

I fought fires w Geno in the 70´s, at Canyon RD outside headquarters Idaho. Lots of stories and good memories. He visited and stayed w my family in Seattle and my Mom still asks about him. Sad to see you go my friend, RIP

It was always a better day when Geno and sometime times Pam came into Western MT Lighting while building their new home. What a fun guy!!! So sorry for your loss.

Gene was always a bright light for fellow travelers. Filled with life, humor and kindness. Prayers of comfort for everyone he knew and loved

Sad to hear of Geno´s passing. How do you react to the "last call" of the wolf? Always enjoyed his presence & energy. His spirit will float in the mountains & heaven around Missoula for years to come.

He was a very special person to those he knew well as well as to those he barely crossed paths with....The world needs more people like Geno!

Rest in peace old friend. My sincere condolences to your family, especially your gal pal.

I am so very sorry to hear of Geno´s passing. I knew him through the Forest Service. He was a very kind and gentle soul. My deepest condolences.
