Gene A. Ooten

A childhood friend and classmate. Reminiscing of our childhood in Lenore, West Virginia.

Dear Diane, Bobby, Andy, and family,
We were sadden to learn of Gene's passing. We will miss his friendly greetings when we pass by. He was always so cheerful and friendly. Let your memories get you through the sad days ahead. Our thoughts and prays are with each of you. We will see you in the spring when we return to MI.
Hugs,
Linda and Terry Kephart

Was so saddened to learn this news. Gene was an outstanding young man as he progressed through his Lenore High School days. Was proud to be part of those days as his teacher. I'm sure he carried the same values with him throughout his adult life. May God richly bless you - his family and friends - in the days ahead.

SORRY TO HEAR OF THE LOSS OF A BELOVED CLASSMATE CLASS OF 1965 AT LENORE HIGH SCHOOL AND FRIEND MY THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS GO TO YOU AND ALL OF YOUR FAMILY

I am sorry about your loss of a beloved family member.

Ramon and I were very sad to hear of Gene's passing having known him since our Little sister Teresa married his son Andy. We have enjoyed the family gatherings, and getting to know Diane and Gene. We will forever have wonderful memories of his southern charm and kindness that we had come to know and love. God Bless

All of us at Big Boy are very sad about Gene passing you both have been a big part of the Big Boy family for many years. Although I have only known you guys for a couple of years it has truely been my pleasure. Gene will be sadly missed by me and everyone who knew him.

For many years Gene was a special neighbor and we shared special times as our sons grew up together. I have missed the connection since I moved from my home next to your home, Diane, Bobby, and Andy. My friend Jackie Scott called me to tell me of Gene's death and having walked the road through grief when my Charlie died, I know that it helps to know friends are there for support as well as family. You have a wonderful family that has been a blessing to both of you, and they will continue...

Sorry to hear of Gene's death. Gene and I hired in the same day at Buick and worked together most of those years. Will keep you in our prayers
God Bless
