Randy, my heart goes out to you and your family. I know your dad meant so much to you. He was a strong presence in your life, so I know he will be missed greatly. I pray God gives you pease during this time.
Loved my Uncle Gene and will miss talking to him about life. He was a good man and will be missed by all that knew him. Randy we are sending our love from Texas. Let us know if there is anything we can do.
Love ya buddy
Thoughts and prayers are with you and the family.
Gene will be greatly missed. I worked with him when I first started Ingles. He is a person you can never forget. Always laughing and happy. Forever my friend!
So sorry to hear about Gene. We , meaning me and my sister and whole family knew all Genes family growing up. I have lived just below Gene and his family for about 19 years. He always greeted me and any of his neighbors with a big smile and a hand wave. This community lost a good neighbor. Sending love to you and all Genes family.
