I worked with Gene when I had gotten my first job in banking, many years ago. I have run in to him many times thru out the years, to keep in touch. He was always a very sweet and gentle man and would have done anything for anyone. I will always remember him for that.

My thoughts and prayers go out to all of Gene's family and friends. He was a wonderful man filled with pure happiness. He had such a great personality and sense of humor. He was fun to work with and was a great friend. What I remember the most about Gene is his stories he'd tell me about his life and his family. He had such a love for life and all of the people in his life. He was always so positive and in such a cheerful mood. Thank you for being such a wonderful friend, Gene, I will miss you.

Matt & Andy, I was very surprised to see in the paper that your father had passed away. It has been several years since I've seen your dad...and even longer since I have last seen either of you. However, I remember him as a really great guy and I know how much you both looked up to him. My blessings and prayers to you and your families.
