Gene, you will truly be missed by me and my entire family. A gifted and compassionate soul who touched the lives of many with the skills of your hands - carpentery, plumbing, electrical - you were the master of all. God Bless and rest your soul. Your spirit lives forever in the works of your hands. We all love you and miss you.
