Lois and family,



Our prayers and thoughts are with you.

Gene and I were always close friends. He was always a gentleman and a good Christian.

I thought the world of Gene. He and my wife, Diane, were instant friends. They were both Cubs fans. She liked his personality.

He was a good man and he will be missed by all who knew him. Our thoughts are with you and yours during this difficult time.
