Gene was born January 1, 1938, in Pittsfield, MA, to Edward B. and Stella R. Pisiewski Sadlowski. His early years on the farm laid the foundation for a life defined by hard work, and commitment to family, and country.

Gene was a 1955 graduate of Pittsfield High School, and following graduation he enlisted in the United States Air Force, and served for eight years of active duty. He continued his military service in the USAF Reserves, and retired as a Master Sergeant, with more than 20 years of service. His time in uniform reflected his deep sense of duty, and patriotism.

Following his military service, Gene built a successful path as an insurance agent and business owner. Over five decades in the industry, he earned the trust of clients, and colleagues alike through his integrity, and professionalism.

While stationed at Beale AFB in California, Gene met the love of his life, his wife, Sandra "Lynne" Sweeney. They were married on February 17, 1962, and were blessed with 61 years of marriage until her passing in 2023.

Outside of work, and worship Gene had a strong love of flying. A lifelong pilot, he enjoyed weekend flights across Northern California.
