Brian, I’m so sorry about your step-dad. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
Gene will always be in our thoughts. He was not only a big man, but a Big Man With a Big Heart. I will miss him dearly with all the little chats he and I would have, didn’t always agree, but we loved our chats.
To the family, I know you have lost a very special person, special in so many ways. Our thoughts and prayers go out to each of you in the coming days.
My thoughts and prayers are with all of you at this time.
Louise, please let me know if I can do anything for you. My prayers are with you and your family always.
I worked with Gene at TRANE Charlotte. He was a wonderful man and a very good friend.

Gene was my very best friend for many years. We will miss this great man. My love and prayers are with the family.
My thoughts and prayers are with the Stevens family.
The warranty department at Trane Charlotte depended on Gene’s expertise to diagnose motor problems, and his intelligence will be sorely missed. He was always ready and willing to explain the finer points of motor theory to those of us who needed it, and he did a great job. I am glad I had the opportunity to work with someone like Gene.
