I would also like to mention that my Uncle Genie used to love to stand on his head. What a great guy.

My Uncle Genie was a wonderful man who was liked, loved, and respected by so many. He was very funny and kind, and I will always remember what a loving and thoughtful brother he was to my mother (his sister Mary) throughout his life. We'll all miss him very much.
