Not sure what to say?

You are always in my prayers rest in peace

Jordan Family, I did not personally know Gene. I just finished listening to his interview. He was proud to be a Veteran. By listening to the interview I would call Gene a COMPASSIONATE and kind man. He loved his fellow man and family. I thankyou for including his interview in his Obit. He will be missed by all who knew and loved him. May he rest in peace, May God give comfort and peace to his amazing family. Patricia Kubly Monticello, WI.

always a smile and even when you hadn't seen him in a while you felt like it was just yesterday.

Sorry for the loss of your father Brenda. I loss touch of your family after high school at Orangeville. It was good to read of the life your dad lived. Maybe we can connect some time. God bless you and your family.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

Prayers to the family during your time of loss.

I am completely heart broken to hear that Gene passed. I truly enjoyed having him at the farm and just being able to talk to him while he was gardening. My son, Zaiden, loved watching Gene and talking to him every time he would check his onions. He filled the hole in my heart after losing my grandpa. Thank you Gene for being such a wonderful person and having the patience with my 6 year old. We will miss you this summer but I know Dad will keep up with your side of garden. Until we meet...

Gene -Dont know where to start. The phone call to me 45 years after Korea. Thought about it for two weeks do I want to open that can of worms. Well I called and it was like we never separated. The marine corps reunions with the Chosen Few meeting Pete and Bob was like old times. Helene n June hit it right off and we had so many good times. Now your with Pete wont be long before Bob n I will be with you. Semper Fi brother

My condolences to the family, extended family, and many friends of Gene Jordon. I remember when he worked at Hartman's in downtown Freeport, and he loved his softball. He was also a great baseball player. I remember the big bright smile he always had. Rest in peace, Gene,
