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.

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.
