Gene Iacono

I lose my breath when I think of you being gone so suddenly Gene. I so much enjoyed our dinners with you and Ray telling your A/V stories. You were such a great friend to our family for 30 years. You introduce sushi to our kids Jason & Kristina when they were toddlers and enjoyed their mile stones and they were crazy about you. I will never forget our conversations and your laughter and our special trip to Disneyland. Ray and I will never be able to drive on the 60 fwy without laughing about...

I am deeply saddened to have found this. I sent Gene a text a few weeks ago but I got no response.

I met Gene earlier this year, he was selling some of his audio gear and I was in the market of buying some; we crossed paths, and we quickly struck a friendship.

He'd come over my shop and we'd talk about audio gear and all his crazy touring stories. I found his humor and short-temper hilarious, and so I loved having him over when ever he was free. He so badly wanted to learn...

Although it's been a fast forty years since I saw or had the pleasure to work with Gene in the early part of our careers, I always had great memories of the few years that we were friends.

I worked at Abbey Rents and met Gene while doing a project for the San Dimas Festival of Western Art. I provided the tent, tables and chairs and all that and Gene did the sound and the lighting. We were both in our mid twenties and passionate for doing these type of events.

We became instant...

Gene was a big hearted, giving and talented man. His contribution to Universal Studios was invaluable but his impact on all of us and colleagues and friends was even more impactful. Loving thoughts to our friend Gene.

I had the pleasure of knowing Gene and pal-ing around with him in 1970. I remember him being intelligent, creative, inquisitive, talented, humorous, and with seemingly boundless energy. I look back on those days with fondness. Since that time our contact has been sporadic and infrequent. Our most recent contact being in 2017.

I will always remember Gene and treasure our friendship. My hope is that friends and family will be comforted having known such a talented...
