DAD (JAMES W. MOTACEK) TOOK ME/HIS SON (DON) & MY BROTHER (LARRY) TO SEE GENE AUTRY IN PERSON AT THE ARMORY IN ROCKFORD, IL. THIS WAS SOMETIME DURING THE LATE 1940S OR EARLY 1950S. AT THE END OF THE SHOW---GENE ROAD CHAMPION RIGHT PAST MY DAD. I WAS TRYING TO FIGURE OUT JUST HOW I COULD SNEAK ON HIS HORSETRAILER-GO TO CALIFORNIA-WORK FOR GENE ON MELODY RANCH. HA---WHAT A DREAMER I WAS!!!!
GENE AUTRY WAS/IS "ONE OF THE GREATEST"!!!

I have enjoyed Gene's singing, The Phantom Empire serial, old-time radio, and his TV show from 1950-1956. He was a radio, movie, and TV pioneer with no equal in my opinion. Great role model, too! God bless him.

Gene was an icon of America and its goodness, through his strength, goodness, hard work, and impeccable character in film, TV and real life. His success in business strating with nothing and becoming a millionaire was the "American Dream". I just loved how Gene lived his image and his great legacy to the American West, as a revered baseball owner and philanthropist. She was an Amrican icon. God Bless Gene's memory and tremendous legacy. *** Please see my previous tribute dated October 28, 2017.

I and a friend of mine George Fesko once had the pleasure of petting Gene Autry's horse Champion when the truck transporting him stopped in CONEMAUGH, PA on the way to Johnstown, PA for a show. We fed him an ice cream cone.

What a wonderful actor and singer. Still my idol. Have never forgotten the thrill of seeing your show in my home town in 1953.

I went to the movie to see Gene Autrey every Saturday when I was going up. Roy Rogers was playing down the street but I wanted to see Gene.

Gene was a favorite of mine and my parents as I was born in 1950 and watched his TV show his movies and listened to my Mother playing his wonderful songs. Gene looked like a reminded me of my Father in so many ways. He represented all that was good about America. Hard working, honest, forthright, tenacious, clean cut image and in real life. I still tear up listening to his songs and looking at pictures of Gene as stated he reminds me of my late Father who I adored. I still think fondly of my youth and "The Old Cowboy". Gene left behind a legendary legacy.

As a child growing during the 1950s, I have found memories of Gene Autry and Roy Rodgers.

May they both rest in peace
