I pray for Gods presents in all who grieves and I thank God for the opportunity to know this good man. In Jesus name, Amen

I worked with Gene at Orbit and was still enjoying his presence at Street Fleet. He had a great work ethic and was a super guy to visit with. He will be missed greatly.

My thoughts and prayers are with you. I Dispatched to Gene at Quicksilver. He was a great guy, with a good sence of humor. I had just run into him at the bread store in Blaine a while back, we stood and reminised for almost a hour.
He will sure be missed.

Dear Cole,
My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family. I am so sorry for your loss. Your dad sounded like he was a great person, father, and friend. I wish I could have met him.
If there is anything I can do to help, please let me know. God Bless.
Love, Michelle

I was stunned by the sad news. Gene and I worked together just last week; when he didn't have an order to deliver, we would sit and exchange stories about our experiences in the courier business. Gene was kind, considerate, easy to work with and easy to talk to. I shall miss him.

To Gene's Family,
I don't even know what to say! I'm just as shocked as your Family & all his friends must be! Gene was a Street Fleet driver, who would come in & replace my driver, Dave, when I needed time off of work. I work for Poineer Rim & Wheel Co. in Coon Rapids. Gene was a great guy & a great worker. I knew him back when he worked for Orbit Delivery & would come into Pioneer Rim's main warehouse, down in N.E. Minneapolis. I will miss him very much, and know my thoughts & prayers will be with you during this difficult time.

Hard to believe I wont see you tinkering on your truck or working on your yard. May the thought that you are home with God give your family some comfort during this terrible time. You will be missed and thought of everytime I look across the street at your beautiful flowers.
