Dear,Mrs.Pedigo,Carol,Debbie,and families,
I am so saddened to hear of your loss.
Just learning about it now,while looking for Carol.I too remember well how hard working your dad and mother
was. I remember when my niece Colette
bounced her super ball and it went
down the register because your dad
was remodeling.I was scared he'd be
mad.He was so happy to go down and get
it for her and play with her.She always
asked to go see him after that.
You know I love you all and have great
memories of Beckley road.

My dear uncle. Never judged anyone. Always showed us love when visiting in Florida. I know you are up in heaven with my dad and grandma. Give them both a kiss for me. Love you, Barbara "Susie"

Dad was the hardest working person I have ever known. When I needed something fixed or to learn how to fix anything he always knew what to do. It was so hard to see him sick because he was the strongest person in the world. My sister, Carol and I both have "man hands" just like him. He left a hole in my life that will never be filled.
I love and miss you Daddy!

I moved next door do Gene and Lorene in May of 1998. When I would mow my yard and if Gene was mowing at the same time, we would stop and talk for hours. I will miss visiting with you.

Gene you were a great Husband, Father, and Grandfather. Everyone that knew you loved you and thought you were a warm and gentle person. I have always admired how you rose to the top of your job classification without a college education in every job you had. Not many people have that "drive" in life to achieve the career goals that you accomplished. You always put your heart and soul into everything you did. Herbie and I will miss you very much. I love you big sis!

I was truly blessed to have Uncle Gene in my life. I will always remember his smile, kind heart, and jolly personality. I am so thankful for all the fun memories of him and Patrick at Aunt Elaine's especially the "wild" jeep ride. Oh how he scared us and made us laugh at the same time. He touched our lives in many ways but most of all he taught me to live each day with laughter, honesty, and helping those who need it.
We love you and miss you!!!

My uncle Gene was so dear to me! I will miss his humor and especially his laugh. I am blessed to be his niece, and am so glad he got to know my son. My thoughts and prayers are with you Aunt Rene, Mama, Debbie, Dawn, Carol and Paul. My comfort is that I will see him again someday. I love you, "Monkey Gene!"

He was the best father he knew how to be, a good provider as I never had a need for anything, was always there for me, and he will be greatly missed.
