Once again we will think of you Gene. Your name just naturally comes up whenever we talk about Ohio University Lambda Chi Alpha. Your contribution to that organization is immeasurable and you will live on through your good deeds!

Just wanted to post this in memory of Gene. He was such a vital part of Ohio University Lambda Chi that we have named an award after him. It is for Outstanding Alumni Service to the chapter and is known as the "Eugene Dunham Outstanding Volunteer Service Award" and is given out at Founders Weekend every year. Gene was the first recipient and then the award was named after him. That is how much he meant to us.

Mark Twain once said, "A man who lives fully is prepared to die at any time." I know of no person who lived a fuller life than Brother Gene. He will truly be missed in countless ways, but will always be remembered for his friendship, big heart and love of Lambda Chi Alpha. Nancy, Biff and Matt, you are in our thoughts and prayers. Thanks for sharing Gene with us these many years.

In ZAX,

We always enjoyed when Gene came back and talked to us about his days at OU. He was a true brother and supported us through the housing corporation for many years. He will be missed and this March at Founders Weekend in Athens, we will raise a glass to him. Thanks for always being a great brother Gene.....In ZAX

Some names and faces we never forget. I remember Gene (and Nancy) as we struggled years ago in trying to do our best for our sons.

I met Gene and Nancy years ago when their son, Matt, was in my son's first grade class in Richmond, VA. He was an ebullient man, full of life and vitality, never meeting a stranger. It's hard to realize he's gone. I offer my sincere sympathy to Nancy, Biff, Matt, and all his loved ones.

My deepest sympathy o Nancy, Biff and Matt,

I was shocked to read in the paper today about Gene.

What wonderful and fun times we had together at The University of Tampa.

He will be missed.
