We had the honor of taking care of Gene. He was a delicate soul, very kind and also determined. We have honored his final wishes and we will always remember him, with a smile. Ramy and Mindey Labib

I met Gene when I interviewed him as a candidate for the Florida Master Gardener Volunteer Program. I remember him as a quiet spoken individual with a great deal of enthusiasm to help others. He was a very sociable volunteer when he was meeting and counseling homeowners. He became a weekly volunteer in the demonstration vegetable garden. COVID restrictions kept all volunteers out of the garden and this did not settle with him. He expressed his disappointment, as only Gene could, and I appreciated his sharing his unhappiness. His battle with cancer changed him, as it would with many of us. I will miss "the big guy" greatly.
