I was so sorry to hear of the death of Uncle Gene. He was a good man and had been a wonderful brother by
coming to Laurel Ridge to see mom (Maggie). My thoughts and prayers will be with all of you.

We are friends of Jim and Sandra and just heard last night of his death. We are so sorry and wish to express our condolences to Jim and his brother Joe.
We are so sorry for your loss. You are in our thoughts and prayers.
Love to all,
Good-bye to a wonderful and delightful Uncle. We will always remember Uncle Gene’s great sense of humor and the twinkle in his eyes when relating a funny story or incident. (Especially the stories about the washing machines!) We would be so selfish to wish him here when he is now in such a wonderful place reunited with his brothers, Garfield and Hughes, and his sisters, Lee, Hazel, Pauline, and Dewie. God is good.
We’re so saddened to hear of Gene’s passing. There’s getting to be so few of the ‘Great Old Guys’ I remember so fondly left around here. I surely thought the world of Gene and remember the fun times he and my Dad used to have together. Hope they are having them again up there! I’ll miss him sorely.
We are so sorry to hear about your loss. You are in our thoughts and prayers.
Will always remember the good times.
