I'll never forget my first day at Baylor in 1960! I remember Gene having all the gathered floormates at newly opened Penland Hall and how Gene had the whole group literally ROFL as he told stories of his time as a chicken judge at the State Fair and the things he had to do. We called him "Chickie" for years after that. What a great roomate for years and I have no doubt he will be missed as a great person, dentist, family member, friend, and anything else he did.

While Gene and I were not close friends, I went to him for many years as my dentist and we played some golf together. I always enjoyed being around him and visiting with him and thought he was one of the really good guys. In addition to being a terrific dentist.

I am sad to hear this news. And I am sorry for the huge hole in your hearts that Gene leaves.

Prayers to the family. He was a wonderful man. He was my dentist forever until he retired, and he was the best. Always enjoyed visiting with him. Our common conversation of Nocona where I lived. Rest in Peace Dr. Harrell
