Dear Dorothy, Shelley, Kim and families,
I am so sorry to hear about your loss. It is a heart break and a sadness that only God can heal and may you feel God's presence now in the future.
I remember scooping poop during the labor day parade in a clown long underwear outfit with both of our Dad's. Looking back now, I can't believe they were brave enough or maybe foolish enough to do that. I also remember how fun it was to ride in your blue limo and his jolly laugh. He and Dad sure had some good times.
My thoughts and prayers are with you.
Love Jeanne (Youngell) Richard

Gene and I were good friends back at Ashland High School in Ohio.We were in the National Guard together. I remember when he married Dottie,the prettiest girl in Ashland County,we were all jealous.
Please accept my deep sympathy.

My deepest heartfelt sympathy to Dotti, Shelley, Kim and all that loved him. Gene was a very special man. I have known him since I was 'knee high' and will forever remember his smile and that jolly laugh of his. He will be missed but will live in our hearts for always and always.
