Jim Dugan and Lori Leigh will sorely miss the acquaintance of Gene. Jim was honored to help make his residence in Kelseyville a comfortable and welcoming place to live. Lori will miss his smile and friendly banter. It was an honor to know Gene for the short time we had with him.

Love you Dad...

I've thought of him often over the past 30 years...everytime I tell one of his jokes. He was one of a kind and will not be forgotten.
