Gene Bruns

So sorry to hear of Gene´s passing. We were grateful for our work for the city while he was Mayor. He will be missed by all who knew him.

Our hearts are with all the family and everyone who loved Gene. He was so kind, astute, firm and fair, and we greatly admired his support of women in professional and civic endeavors. Gene's gentle smile will be sorely missed. Thank you for sharing this wonderful man with us all. Pamela Miller and Michael Cummings

Great man. "Outstanding" Mayor. The world was better because of him and is less without him. He will be missed by many. My prayers to his family. RIP.

Cherlyn and family, Buddy and I, and our family send our heartfelt sympathy to you and yours. As your younger cousin, living across the street from you when we moved to Kansas City, I was in awe of you. Beautiful, graceful, cheerful-aspirational qualities. When you married Gene, you were a princess and prince. When our extended families were together for weddings, funerals or milestone celebrations, you and Gene always brought joy and zest for life to the occasion-and a growing family!...

Gene and I became friends as teens working at NKC swimming pool--never meeting thru the years without stories of those golden days as Northtown kids.

Gene you were so kind to me when we served in the Kansas City LDS Temple together. You always made me smile and feel good the minute I walked through the door. Your great example of charity was a daily teaching example to me. I have missed seeing you the past few years and I am thrilled to know where you are serving now. May Heavenly Father bless you and yours.

I first met Gene when I started working at a local bank. He was one of the kindest people I have ever known. He was more than just a customer, he was a friend.

I've known Gene for a great many years and can honestly say he will be missed by everyone he ever met. He was a man of great faith and served his church and his community tirelessly.

Oh how I loved this man! I will always cherish the time I spent with him as I served alongside him in the YSA Branch. He was a kind mentor and loving friend. When we visited about 10 years ago and I introduced him to my children, he was so thoughtful and expressed his love and gratefulness for our lasting friendship. I send my heartfelt sympathies to Cherlyn and all his posterity. I have wonderful memories of time spent with Sheila and sent my love to all the Bruns family!
