I remember at time when I went fishing with gene and he tells me we are going to troll the lake so we get the stuff in the boat get our poles ready push if shore just drifting along he grabs his pole throws his line out I’m thinking sweet better get mine out there as I grab my pole he says what are you doing you can’t fish and row at the same time he caught a number of fish and I caught a sun burn and sore arms I loved that trip
Im going to miss the ole coot. Gene was my friend I hate that he left this world so soon and so young. May you enjoy whatever's next, until we meet again.
He was more than just an uncle he was a friend and a father figure for a lot of us hell he is the only uncle grandpa I no there is no one that can ever take his place I love you we love you
