I first met Gene in '77 when I started teaching in the fledgling MBA at the College. We both taught Management Science, then he went on to teach what he very passionate about --- Ethics. He was a great guy and a very good priest. I am glad for our 20+ years teaching together and knowing each other. Gene, go and be with God forever. You earned it, my friend.
