I remember all the times I visited Scott and Terry and Gene was always in the Garage building or repairing something. He was stern but I always had respect and admiration for his creations. I remember the times that a tool wasn't put back in it's designated place or when the mower wasn't blown free of cuttings before being put inside. The boys would get an earful as his garage was cleaner than my house. I remember going to the Lake in Wisconsin and Terry teaching us to ski!! Miss you Gene!! God bless Nancy and all the Family. Rest in peace.

Gene was a great guy. Very friendly, always working on his amazing lawn. I bought a beautiful Buick Riviera from him for my son. We miss seeing him in his yard.
