Lucy-

My deepest sympathies, Gene was a good man and had a positive influence on those who were fortunate enough to know him. I know words pale in comparison to the what you are feeling and going through at this time, but I hope knowing how you and Gene have touched so many lives will come with some comfort. You and Gene were there for me when I needed you most in my life and for that I will be forever grateful. Gene had many impacts on my life, but it was his adventurous spirit of the outdoors that had the most profound impact on me. He introduced me to a wondrous underwater world that helped focus my future, shaped my career, and my life's work. With each dive I have made around the world, there isn't one that I haven't thought about the gift Gene gave to me. Gene will be missed by many, I will miss him and I will always remember him. My thoughts, love, and prayers are with you in this most difficult time.
