Cindy and family, Nancy and I are very sorry to hear about Gene's passing. As you know I had many happy days with Gene on the golf course as well as being in your home on several occasions and also all the good times we had eating out. Gene was one of a kind and truly enjoyed everything in his life to the fullest. He will be missed by so many in all walks of life. I know his friends at Mill Quarter are sad to know that we will not enjoy another round of golf with him. God bless you and your family.
