Gene married my best friend over 50 years ago, he was the best husband, father, grandfather & great grandfather I knew…..Gene will be missed by all that knew and loved him……..although you left way to soon, you left us with so many memories! Gone but never forgotten…..
Gene was as real of a person as I have ever known.
It was my pleasure to become his aunt when I married his uncle Cecil.
Will miss him dearly.
Love and peace to Roxanne and all of their family. My heart is with you ♥
I initially met Gene when I was 15 years old. He was my first boss at my first job with Oglevee, Ltd. Not only was he a great boss, but also an amazing mentor. I learned so many skills from him which I still utilize today. Even though I hadn’t seen or spoken to Gene in many years, I thought of him often. He was the subject of so many anecdotes I have shared with friends and family over the years. I cherish the memories of him booking my band to play parties he both hosted at home and attended with friends. Watching him dance with his wife and enjoy our renditions of popular classic rock music is how I will always want to remember him. He was an amazing man and he will be missed.
