It is sad to hear of Gene's passing. I have admired and looked up to this man since I was a little boy - as Gene was my principal, cousin and a good fishing partner. Gene was at every funeral while serving as pallbearer for so many of my family members throughout the years. He will be missed and always remembered as a man with the highest of contributions devoted to Christianity. Prayers to the family of a man who made our world a better place to live.
