Not sure what to say?

I still think of him often and miss him much.

How could you not Love Gene. He will be missed.

Dear Ginny, So sorry to read about Gene. I have not seen you in quite awhile. If I can help you at anytime, please call me. I know what is like to no longer to have your dearest friend and partner. Sometimes just talking to a friend will make you feel you are not alone. I am up late at night, up to 1AM, please call me anytime. Your friend and Laura's Grammy. Sue Holman 456 6159.

Ginny, So sorry for your loss. Working with you and Gene at Fairbanks Youth Facility was a wonderful experience. Ralph and I also have fond memories of Gene out in Goldstream Valley. Patricia Larson-Nestor, Wisconsin

One of the good guys, he will be missed.

Even though I knew you and Gene a short time, it was fun coming to your home with Sundance so that Lacy and him could make "grandchildren" for us. I am sure that all the happy memories you had with each other will help you in this time of grief. You have all my sympathies, Ginny.

He was so kind and thoughtful, similing, my thoughts and prayers to Ginny and family. So
sorry to hear this. What a nice man. Take care
Ginny, Helen Holland (Re/Max) Retired.

Gene served with me on the Alaska Appraisal Board. Gene was the kind of person you like very much right out of the gate. My admiration and respect for him grew over the years we served together on the board. I will miss him and my heart and prayers go out to all his family and friends.

My thoughts and prayers are with you in this time of need. Gene was a wonderful man.
