Reggie, Mike, Stan , Zip and family, we go back 50 years or so. Genick was a hero ,in his own way, to us and will be missed forever. This is one of those times when I really wish I could have said goodbye to the man we thought so much of. A very sad day.

I was so sorry to hear today that Genick has passed away. Even though I hadn't seen or spoken to him in several years, as the father of my two children, he still held a piece of my heart that will forever be his. My deepest sympathies to the rest of the family.

I knew and loved Genick in the '70's and sadly lost touch with him through the years. He could ALWAYS make me laugh. He spent a lot of time at our house. I knew him in the days when he was married to Cheri and we took care of Louie and "little Genick" all the time. Rest in peace my friend. You were one in a million!
