Dear Lisa, Gene, Diane and Lori, I’m so sorry for the loss of “Uncle Gene”. I will never forget the many memories we shared with him and all of you. Especially our times on Ells Street! He use to kid me all the time back them. He was such a kind hearted guy. He will surely be missed. Love and hugs to all of you!
