Our sympathy and special prayers for Gene and all his family and friends.

May he rest in peace
Very well said sir! Respectfully, Ken Kufner, EVCC
Gene meant a lot to Ken and I. He taught us much about a happy life and loving family. I wish that I had gone to see him recently. But I am glad that he had the photo of us that I sent for Christmas. I hear that it added to his day, as it was on his shelf with other family photo. Yay! He will be missed. May he rest in peace.

I enjoyed meeting your dad many years ago! 1980? Great guy and dad. God speed and God Bless.

I am so very sorry to hear of the loss of Gene. My late husband and I knew Elaine and Gene since high school. Elaine and I were in our high school club (Jesters), and my husband, Tom, and Gene played high school football together. In later years we did not see each other often because we lived on complete opposite sides of the Chicago area. Gene will be remembered as kind, thoughtful, and always a gentleman.
May Gene join his lovely bride & family in heaven. Our sincere condolences to his family & friends.

I met your Dad quite a few years ago… quite a good golfer during his prime to say the very least! So truly very sorry for your loss. Sending my prayers to all of you now and always, and may he rest in peace in the loving arms of our lord Jesus Christ. Amen.
