So very sorry for your loss. Gene was such a wonderful man! I enjoyed getting to know him at the Congregational Church of Batavia and singing in the choir with him.

With great sadness I learned of Gene's passing. We both worked on the Fermilab Tevatron accelerator in the Technical Support Section the early 1980s. We have lost a good friend.

Dear Jean, I am so sorry that we lost touch. I remember Gene as a high quality guy who shared thoughtful insights with ironic humor. I wish you good memories and the faith that things get better with time.

Jean, Very sorry to get the sad news. Please receive our warmest condolences.

Sorry for you loss, he was a wonderful person to work with.

It was an honor to be a part of his life- what a wonderful husband, father, and grandfather

Dear Jeanie, we are so sorry for your loss. We´ll always remember Gene as a wonderful friend and colleague. Wishing for you all the comfort friends and family and good memories can bring, Frank and Wyatt Merritt
