Memories, at our age get lost or locked away. But I remember Gene as a gentle, kind soul, full of fun and a vigor for life. God has welcomed him home.

Dear Sandy and family,
My thoughts and prayers are with you. I enjoyed my short time working in WSS and part of that was getting to work with Gene and Sandy at the cemetery. He was such a huge help to this new comer!
He also fixed my old chainsaw!
Love,
Grace
