My childhood was so wonderful, that I have attempted to duplicate it for my 3 children, the houseboat life, snow skiing, fun family times.....good friends. I will miss him forever, and wish I could tell him once more how much I love him......rest in peace, dear Dad! Love Shannon Marie

I am so saddened to hear about the loss of my Uncle Gene. I have so many fond memories of our family times together with Aunt Pat, Uncle Gene, our parents and all the cousins. The houseboat, Trinity Lake, the snow! My prayers are with you all at this difficult time. We love you. I am so sorry we cannot attend the service. Let's talk soon.
Love always,

My heart goes out to all of Gene's family and friends during this difficult time. Gene was , for much of my childhood, like another parent. I have so many fond memories of trips to the lake, Sun River and spending many a night with he and his family. It was Gene who taught me to water ski and snow ski. He loved his family and friends and always made every gathering about joy and laughter. Thank you Gene for the good memories. Love and blessings to all of his family.
Sincerely, Janie Williams

I am so sorry to read about Gene's passing. I had the pleasure of renting their home for almost three years. The Michelson's were the best landlords one could ask for and a honor to have known him, for I sensed Gene was very close to our Lord and projected that in the way he carried himself, again a honor of knowing him and Jeanne. May the Lord be with you Jeanne and your loving family. Thank you for being so kind to me and my family...God bless all your family love Ronnette Burns
