Our heartfelt sympathies to the Hagen Family, their friends, and those who had the opportunity to cross paths with our Uncle Gene and his family. It puts a smile on our face whenever we think back to our time spent with Uncle Gene and Aunt Dorothy, especially at the gatherings we were fortunate to be a part of over the years. As noted by others, our visits included plenty of laughter and strolls down memory lane. We will surely miss you, Uncle Gene, but we take comfort in knowing you are pain-free and at peace. May our wonderful memories of you help sustain all of us while we mourn your passing and celebrate your life.

My sincere condolences to the Hagen Family & friends. Uncle "Geno" will surely be missed. His wit & humor always was spot on. He always helped me whenever I called upon him. So glad that we had our visits the last few years. Won't forget the laughter we shared talking about the "good" times. So glad your pain is gone and you can now rest in Peace. We will miss you.
