My thoughts and prayers are with you aunt ellie. Uncle Gene was a wonderful man whom lived and loved life to the fullest. He saw many parts of the world that many of us will never see. He always had a story to tell that was never for a second boring. I'm sorry I can't be there with all of you but, I do want you all to know I'm with you in heart and spirit. I wish Sarasota Florida wasn't so far from all of you.Love you all. Love you Uncle Gene.
