I have known Gene since I moved to Monocacy Street at the age of 13 (perhaps 1956). Gene and Sandy were not married as of that day. Gene helped us remodel a bedroom for our firstborn and did a great job. I pray for Sandy, Eric and Mike and their extended family during this difficult time. It's never easy to lose a husband or a father. May you all be comforted knowing that he is no longer suffering and is in the hands of our Lord forever. Peace be with you. Blessings, cousin Barbara and George.
