I knew Gene from the North Shore Senior Center. He and I worked together on a few committees and as President and Treasurer of the Men's Club. He was a great guy and we spent times just talking about anything. Gene is being missed.

I knew Gene as a member of the Men's Club of the North Shore Senior Center. Gene was a dedicated volunteer in the activities of the Men's Club and you could always count on him to do a great job at anything he undertook, first as Treasurer, then as a volunteer at the Annual Picnic and then as President Elect where illness cut short his opportunity to bring leadership to this fellowship group. Gene was a great guy. He will be missed. My condolences to the entire family.
