Our deepest and sincerest condolences to the family. Words alone can not ease the pain when grieving the loss of a love one. The Bible provides comfort during these difficult times. Revelation 21:3-4 states, "And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away". May God give you and your family comfort in your loving memories and in His promise that soon we will never experience losing our loved ones in death and we will be able to see them again once they resurrected as per John 5:28-29. May these words give you a new hope, with deepest sympathy and warmth of heart.

There are no words to fill the void of Gene's passing. He was the most kind and gentle person I believe I ever met. Gene had a smile and a hearty welcome each week. Always enjoyed sitting next to him on the plane and as his steps may have slowed his quick humor and warm smile was always there.

Gene was always so nice and helpful to both myself and husband, Gypsy who passed in 2011. He was one in a million with a welcoming smile always and not a stich of arrogance about his great knowledge of the sport . A gentle soul amoung out-of- hand egos. I am sure he is greatly missed. Godspeed Gene. Wishing love and peace to his family and friends.
