Gene was preceded in death by his parents, and is survived by his brother, Paul.
He was honorably discharged from the U.S. Army after serving in Korea. Gene was a retired machinist, and an avid golfer. His wit and wonderful sense of humor will be missed.

I have hundreds of photos and memories of Pa-Pa (Gene). He was one of the funniest people in my life. He taught me a lot about life. I will miss him and think of him every time I use one of his many catch phrases. "Food. My favorite dish."
