I always admired his wit and intellect. I loved and respected my Uncle Gene. He was a joy to talk with and each time I encountered a conversation with him, he always had a huge smile. I remember telling him that he had the look of a gangster, and I loved calling him my “gangster” uncle. He chuckled when I told him that. I loved to hear him laugh. I will miss him tremendously, but I know our dear Lord has gained another angel.
Uncle Gene will be missed by so many. What a wonderful man. I am proud to say I am his God Daughter. Much love and prayers for Aunt MaryLou and the family!

I feel blessed to have known Gene for such a large part of my life. Every time I ran into him, I always felt like he gave me all of his attention. He was always very kind to me and I appreciate both he and MaryLou making me feel like family.
