We thank God to have had Gene as a neighbor. Now, there is an empty spot. It was alwlays a pleasure to look out the front window and see Gene and Luella. Many times we would go outside just to talk with them. I remember one time when I went out front to talk and forgot a pan was on the stove. The smoke alarm went off. Everyone was laughing as I ran back inside. I put the pan aside, cleared the smoke and went back outside to continue our conversation. Gene was like a father and a grandfather to our family. He was always pleasant and friendly. He never hesitated to assist if we needed some help. Our cat, Einstein, misses him, also. He was always at Gene's side when he was working in the yard.

Gene will always remain in my memory as one of the most intelligent and sincere people I have ever met. He has always been willing to help his friends and family, and all of his friends think very highly of him, and he has the respect of all.
