Dear Boots,
We were saddened to learn of Gene’s death. He was a good man in the fullest meaning of the term. A hard worker, a good friend and someone who loved his family very much. His smile will live in our memories forever. We will be lifting you up in our prayers.
Gene has gone to a far better place to be with his old friend Halbert once again. God bless his family he has left behind.
Sorry for your loss. He was a good uncle, and we will miss him. We love you.

Linda, Beulah,& Family,
Thinking of you and your loss.
I have fond memories of you. When I think of Gene it is of his wonderful smile and jovial laugh.
I have driven by your old house in north Asheville, but somehow it doesn’t look the same.
Please know that I am thinking of you and your loss.
Judy
I just wanted to let the family know that I was thinking about them and they are in my prayers.
