    My prayers go out to the family as this difficult time. Your family was always like a second family to me growing up, who always made me feel welcome. Gene will truly be missed. I always enjoyed seeing him through out the resent year on Christmas Eve when I could make it or the Birthday parties, which he seemed to never miss a family event. Truly a family man. Love alway,
