The first band that I remember Gene was "Ju-Gene and the Jay bops, about 1958-59. He did have a record with that band, a single, can't remember the title.

I remember Gene well. He played with the Jurek-a-Roos. My uncle Keith Pfannenstein played with them! Some of my best memories. My parents would go to Anton´s, Waite Park Legion and many other establishments to listen to them. I did as well when I got older. A LOVING, KIND, GENEROUS and WONDERFUL MAN! I know him and Keith are up there playing right now, laughing, and making g others roll with laughter! No doubt, Having the times of their lives. My deepest sympathies to you all on such a huge loss. He will be deeply missed. May God bless and keep you all.
