Guestbook

  1. I spent time with Gene and his brother David on their
    Father’s farm; camping, hunting and telling tall tales. My most significant “grounding” was for drag racing his 1954 ford against my dad’s 1955 ford pickup. Gene was an interesting quiet man who impressed me all my life. Rest in Peace ole Friend!

  2. It was such a pleasure to have met Gene and have him as a guest in my home for his son Jimmy and daughter in law Karen’s wedding. He was all smiles. Thank you for sharing him with me.

  3. It was a pleasure to know Gene, and I am so sorry for your loss. I have so many memories of times spent together, especially eating and porch sitting 😉 . You will always be in my ❤️.
