Sandy,

We were sorry to hear of Gene's passing. I think back to some of the wonderful times of water skiing. We have a framed photo of Gene and me water skiing on Minnetonka in the good old days. The cruise we took with you is remembered with many photos. We will always remember Gene and his quiet and friendly demure that made him so welcomed. He will be in our thoughts and prayers forever.
