I only recently heard of Gene's passing though I knew he was ill. I will greatly miss him. He was a good man. My sympathies to those that adored him.

Jess and I are extremely grateful that we had time to spend together this summer touring Texas as a family. I am also grateful of the labor devoted to redoing the railing of my deck. It is one that I will always remember. I recall one time that Gene, Johnny Lee and I went fishing in Galveston many years ago. We had no boat so we walked on the Galveston Jetty. I can remember Gene saying how we must love to fish since we work so hard in getting there and encountering such hardship. We fished for hours without any luck and Gene went to sleep on the Jetty rocks. Johnny and I fished without catching anything. Gene finally got up and started to fish again. He caught a 3 lb trout which was the only one caught all day. Johnny and I were amazed and figured it was time to go home. Gene got his nap in and caught the only fish all day long. I knew he was an excellent fisherman from that day on.
We will always have fond memories of Gene and his family. God had taken him from us but there remain many pleasant memories. Our sympathy to Mazie and the family.

Gene was the BEST Best Man Wally and I could have ever had. We enjoyed going on Gene & Mazie's honeymoon with them even though Mazie wasn't too happy....we all had a good time. I will always remember the good times we had together.

Dear Mazie, Janet, Michael, Steve and family: I am truly greatful for knowing a man of such honor, dignity and grace. Whose spirit was and is full of so much love for Mazie, his children and grandchildren. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this time. With love Kim

Dear Mazie,Janet. Steve, Michael, Kristen, Cuna and Bernhard.
I just want all of you to know I am thinking of you at this sad time. You were all so loving and caring towards your husband, father, brother and friend. Gene was such a great guy and always so
pleasant to be around for our family gatherings, as was mazie.and the reset of his family. If there is anything that I can do to help ease your pain at this time, please let me know. I am sure he knew that we were at the hospital with him. That is probably why he was so restless, he wanted to join us. But, he is in a much better place and at peace. He will be looking down on us for sure. Maybe he will see Chuck up there and they can talk fish stories. They can see which one will tell the tallest tale.
Love to you all,
Barb

To all of the MonGoy extended family,
You have all been, and remain, in our thoughts and prayers. Of course you know how fortunate you are to have had such a wonderful husband, father. grandfather, brother, "gentleman" in your lives. From the time we first met Gene and Mazie, we knew that they were "good folk". We are saddened that Gene is no longer physically with us, but each of us can carry his spirit in our hearts..and that is the gift that he leaves behind to all of his dear family and friends. He was what used to be referred to as "salt of the earth"...sadly, not easy to find anymore. He will be greatly missed.

Remembering the man who took me out on his boat for fishing trips, and showed me my first hammerhead shark at 22 feet long. His home was always a safe haven for me growing up. I will never forget his constant grin, and genuine kindness.
From the skinny curly haired girl who lived across the street.
Love Kathy Collins-Viger

When I met Judy and joined the "Raasch" family, Gene was part of that family. In my life I have met a lot of people and I feel I was fortunate in meeting Gene because he was so special.

I've known Gene all my life and can remember Sunday night card parties at their house and Janet and I would play while the "big people" played cards. I remember the Holsum truck and the house down near town. We always considered Gene and Maxie part of the family. Gene will be missed. Perhaps Gene and Big Wally are up there fishing together again.

Dad -- I guess I have to say something so as not to be outdone by Steven. Although we didn't always agree (read that: politics in the 60's and 70's), you finally came around to my way of thinking in your later years although you always said it was me who had mellowed and not you. Ha! I am sorry you won't get to see Hayley and Hannah grow up as you always said how much you wanted to see how they would turn out. (Don't worry: Hayley will be fine but we're going to have to keep a close eye on Hannah.) I'm grateful that you had 19 years with Townshend and that he'll always remember his Granddaddy, especially those Go card games. It won't be the same without you. Thanks for being such a great Dad, grandfather, father-in-law, brother, and husband. We will always miss you, but we will never forget you. I love you.

It has been so very many years but I have never forgotten your family. We were all the best of friends as kids, playing outside till the streetlights came on. I can still picture perfectly your dad in the garage messing with his fishing rods and such and your grandmother doing her gardening. Those were the days. My dad called me to tell me the sad news. Kathy, Libby and I all send to your family our deepest sympathy for your loss.

Dad...fishing at sunrise on a glass smooth bay, fixing whatever needs fixing, driving vacations, these things I love because of you. I will miss those honest conversations and regret that Hayley and Hannah couldn't spend more time with you. Thank you for allowing me to find my own path in life and never judging me. You are a truely remarkable person and I will miss you greatly. The "Go" tournaments won't be the same without you. Your loving son.

Dear MonGoy Family and Friends, I am so sorry to hear of Gene's passing, but, knowing him and if he couldn't be a whole person as he was, then it was time to go. I will miss the family gatherings at Steve and Kristens! Gene and I would talk about the world situation and how important family is and he was a dear, dear man. I love you, Gene and will miss you.

My father-in-law, Gene, Geno, Dandy, friend... I feel so fortunate to have had the time I spent with you. We had many good times in the past 13 years. Hayley and Hannah will miss their Dandy so very much. But they have so many great memories to carry them through the rest of their lives. Your legacy lives on in your children, grandchildren, and everyone whose life you touched. I will miss the quiet moments we would have when we talked about every topic under the sun. I will miss watching you with the girls and how your face would light up when you were around them. Steve has taken on all of your best qualities (and some not so good, LOL). He is a great father, teacher and person because of your influence. Good-bye for now Geno! And remember to pass us some deuces.

My heart goes out to Gene's family and loved ones. You are all the kindest and most wonderful loving people I have ever known. With all of you, family comes first - as it should. I fondly remember the various trips taken in the last 19 years all over the world with Gene, Mazie, Chris, Cuna, Bernhardt, Cella, Jessie and Tom. Each trip was unforgetable and the times are greatly missed. Mazie, if there is anything at all that it is in my power to help you with, I will be there for you. Just let me know.

May beautiful memories give all of you strength at this difficult time.
Dear Aunt Cuna, Aunt Jessie and Mon goy Family. Just wanted you to know that we are thinking of you all. How wonderful that you guys were able to spend some time together this spring. Those memories will always be special. All eight of you crammed in a suburban, waltzing across texas. Remember the good times.
Love, Susie, Susan and Lou

Gene was a man of many qualities.
But in the end he was a 'uniter' - in the truest form. He brought us all together in a gathering of sorrow and loving humor (funny jokes). He wouldn't have had it any other way.
Grammy, we love you and share in your grief. Thank you for being Gene's partner for so long and spreading the love.
Thanks to all family and friends everywhere for your thoughts, prayers and condolences. To those of you who were with him in the final days and hours, as you know, Gene's presence, as injurred as he was, brought us all close in a very special way. That would have made him very happy.
And a great big tip of the hat and a hug goes out to Mr. Bernhard Lukoschek for his exemplary behavior, loving care for Gene, sense of duty - and the pies. He is family.
Gene, you will be greatly missed, especially at the card table, except, maybe, by that person sitting to your left.
I love you, Gene. Farewell. You were the best father-in-law I ever had.

To the Mon Goy family,
I am so sorry for the passing of Mr. Mon Goy. He was truly one of the kindest and gentlest souls that ever graced the earth. Growing up with his youngest son Steve some of my most vivid memories are his love of his family and his friends. His front door was never locked and he always welcomed you into his home, day or night. He always took time to talk to you and had a genuine interest in what you were doing. I will always remember his sense of humor and his wry grin. He was a real gentleman and will be missed by all who knew him.

To the family of Mr. Mon Goy, I am so sorry to hear about the passing of your husband and father.I worked for Mr and Mrs Mon Goy at Burger Castle when I was 16 years old.

My dear friend Geno.
From the day you got sick I was hoping and praying that you would beat your sickness,but as weeks went by I realized that a higher power had more to do with that then my wish for you to get well.
I consider myself blessed to have had a chance to with you in the last weeks of your life and my friendship and love for you grew bigger by the day until the end.
I will always keep you in my heart and will remember the good times we had with you.
I know you will keep an eye from heaven on all of us, as you did when you where here with us on earth.
My deepest sympathy to the Mon Goy Family and all the people who lost a great person and friend in Gene.

My Dearest Brother,
I was not ready to let you go, but under the circumstances it was the right thing to do for I now know that you are in a better place where you can fish all you want and see all the new movies of your own selection. Till we meet again, I love you and cherish all the years we had together..Though too short !!!With loving memories, your sister, Cuna
