I had the pleasure of having Gene on my boat while fishing at Keaton Beach in Florida for 3 years. Gene was a pure joy to have aboard. He had a sense of humor that was contagious. He was easy going to the extent that he was often taken advantage of - in a humorous sense of way. I know for a fact that he loved candy. I began keeping a box of various types of bite size candies on board and Gene was delighted to the point he began contributing to the box. One day I took break from fishing and opened the box of candies. When I rattled it in Gene's direction (we were on opposite corners of the boat), nothing could have kept Gene from getting to it. Gene is the type person that will be missed. His personality will not let you forget him. I am saddened by his passing.
I don't know any of his family, but I wish you well. May God in his infinite wisdom somehow fill the void left by Gene.
