Mr. Gene was the best neighbor ever! I still remember him walking to the mailbox with the biggest smile on his face and he would wave at me as I drove by. He mowed his lawn and took pride in his beautiful landscape! He was always kind to Yosef, Anna, Michael and I. We loved his friendly nature and he will be missed!
