Super, super man! Gene was a man's man, who had a larger-than-life personality. Being an athlete I got to know him as an athlete, coach, and even as an AD. He treated people as friends and always made a person feel important. A legend in Western Pa sports. The Steratore name in officiating started with Him. RIP friend. You lived the idea, "It's nice to be important, but it is more important to be nice." Thanks. Deepest sympathies to the family.

I remember him from a cheerleading camp at 7 springs in the 70's. He made a lasting impression. I ran into him a couple of times reffing games. He was always so nice and so fun. Condolences to the family. Sheri Edwards Belschner
