Gene was just one of the finest “True” gentlemen I have ever met. He was a member of our golfing foursome for many years and we all enjoyed each other’s company immensely. So many laughs and so much fun. Gene, you are sorely missed. Hope we get to play another round together in the future.

Gene was a wonderful man and so devoted to you all. I just remember his overall presence and how much he adored his family and how much he enjoyed you all. I know he was a father and a best friend to you and that his presence will be missed. What a wonderful thing to have had a father who was so devoted, smart, fun-loving and supportive- and while all of those things make the loss that much harder, he deserves to be remembered and celebrated in the most wonderful way because of them. My sincere condolences to you all.

Gene was the personification of love. A Dad and a Grandad to his family but also to everyone who stepped into his universe, including the Sokolows. Our weekends in Pismo celebrating him, our family dinners in Los Angeles, and our hangs in Mandeville Canyon were always paced by Gene's interest, joy, and laughter. No one appreciated a joke as much as Gene. We will always remember his keen mind and pure heart and most of all his big laugh. There are no words to ease the pain of losing a father or grandfather. But there is continuum. His physical being may be gone from this earth but his soul walks with his earthly family forever. May all that he loved and stood for be exemplified in his family. Sending you our deepest sympathies. Love, Julia & Sam Sokolow

I met Gene at Black Lake through the Gold Coast Seniors Golf Club about 5 years ago. Through our mutual love of golf and our comparative political bent, we became friends. I found Gene to be a terrific sport, fair handed, even mannered and tempered, and kind. I always looked forward to rounds, when we were paired together, because I knew they would be fun, the banter friendly, and there would be smiles, encouragement, and laughter throughout. The Nation needs more people like Gene and I will remember him for the rest of my life and miss him out on the links. RIP Gene and may God bless and keep you always.

Gene had a special gift. He always made you the more important one in the conversation. Always present. An active listener. And genuinely cared about how you were doing. I loved and will always remember our sports talks together.

I really liked Gene for a number of reasons
I respected him as a person and enjoyed his company both on and off the golf course, he was always fun to be with
He gave me some very nice counseling which I really appreciated when my wife was ill with lung cancer
Gene will be missed by me and many more here at Blacklake
