Dear Barbara snd Family,
Gene was my "mentor judge" and my very best and first friend I had on the Bench. Then I had the great honor and joy of meeting Barbara and the family.Then on to golf. What fun. I will always remember Gene and smile.

My very dear friend, Barbara. I am saddened to hear of Gene's death--he was a very special friend. I only knew him from his desert life, and even in that short of a time, I knew he was very special, and a wonderful man. He will be missed. My love to you and your family.
