Dear Patrice and Patrick, Never do I read obituaries and just today looking for a neighbor's I read the shocking news about dear Gene! I always enjoyed our conversations and his enthusiasm to participate in Market Research! He was a true Gentleman. Never are we prepared for lives misgivings. I send prayers to Gene, to you, and all those who shared in the gift of his friendship. He will be missed. May God bless you all as He welcomes Gene with open arms into his Kingdom of Heaven.
