My deepest sympathy to Gene's family. He was a good man and will be missed. Although I haven't seen Gene in more than 40 years - in our days in Gilbertsville - I remember him as a warm and friendly guy. I know God is looking out for him now.
And the family can draw comfort in knowing that he will be free of pain and suffering at last.

I knew Gene through Mr Stark, my neighbor. Each time he came to visit Mr Stark I would try to get over to talk with Gene. He was a fun guy for the short time I knew him.
He will always be remembered here.

Gene and I were high school buddy's and continued our friendship throughout our lives. Gene was a true friend and I could always count on him to be there for me. I will miss his visits and the wonderfull fellowship we enjoyed together. I do believe that Gene is now in the presence of the Lord. I hope that all his loved ones will receive comfort in knowing this and look forward to being reunited with him in heaven. Larry Stark Chesterfield, VA

My thoughts and prayers are with you all. Gene and I were classmates and life-long friends. He was a kind and thoughtful person and I will certainly miss "chatting" with him. May God Bless you All.
