I am so sorry to hear about Mr. Rausch’s passing. I had the pleasure of getting to know him during my time working at the Forum, and he was truly one of the kindest and funniest men I’ve ever had the pleasure of knowing. Once I took my girlfriend to meet him as I was introducing her to a few of my favorite residents, and he gave us a tour of his villa culminating with pointing at a pair of his pants hanging on the back of his door and saying “and those are my pants!” My girlfriend still remembers him fondly as the kind man that showed us his pants during our tour. He was such a good man, and I’m just so grateful that I had the opportunity to know him. I will miss Mr. Rausch and will remember him fondly.
Gene was our second father!! He was a gentle giant with an infectious laugh!! He has definitely left a huge hole in our ♥️!! But the memories we have with him will last forever!! Rest In Peace Gene!! We love you!! Bill and Leslie Lamb 🐑
