Gene Babik

I was very sad to hear about Gene's sudden passing. I have known Gene since high school ( Woodrow Wilson )
He was in my older brother Paul's class and became a family friend. In later years I would only see Gene occasionally when I visited Youngstown, but maintained long distance phone relationship with him. I always admired his commitment to rescuing and caring for homeless animals, a compassionate act. He was also a patron of mine and bought quite a few of my paintings, which I was grateful for. On behalf of my brother Paul and Tim, I would like to extend our sympathy to his sister. He was a fine man and a good friend and will be missed. Robert Sabo
