Mr. Rogers was an inspiration to me while I learned as it was called then 'Data Processing' at Tech High School. His patience and caring allowed me a 40 year career in the field.

I remember Gene during my term of service at Lincoln High School. He taught in an adjacent room on the 2nd floor. He and Bert were instrumental in helping me during my stablng at Lincoln. I appreciated his friendship and professionalism.

I enjoyed Gene's friendly personality and his knowledge of many subject areas. I met Gene while he was a teacher at Lincoln. I taught mathematics at Lincoln for 31 years and he was versed in mathematics and we discussed the subject occasionally. I will remember him as a gentleman and a friend. My sympathy to the family and remember all of the wonderful times you were able to share with him.
