Going to miss our summer visits, the coffees, meals, talks, etc. Larry enjoyed the times working with Gene at the church (the cross/bell tower 10 years this month) . We have many fond memories.

I'm so sad, I miss my Uncle Gene. But I'm greatful he was a big part of our lives growing up even though living so many miles away. And even as an adult, we had some fun memories together! One memory I always remember when I think of him, as a kid he would wrestle us to the floor and tickle us with his beard. He thought that was so funny! I hated it. But I still loved him.

Gene blessed so many people using his many talents to serve others. Bless you all with peace and comfort.
