Sorry to hear of Gene's passing. He was the husband of my best friend Carolyn Cole ( we went through school together and her parents took me to church with them every Sunday at the Arlington Baptist Church).
Gene was always a great husband and Carolyn adored him. They seemed to be the perfect couple.
As sad as it is to loose Gene we know that he is joined with Carolyn in Heaven.
