We both worked with Gene at the Westin - Nick worked for and with him (and Gene taught him well, thank you dear friend!) and Kate - well, she just talked to him all the time. We are deeply saddened to learn of his passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and close friends, and everyone who had the privilege of knowing him. We will always remember Gene with a smile, as that's what Gene did - he smiled, and made those around him smile. He was quite a character! May God hold you in the palm of His hand, dear Gene. Godspeed.

Please accept my deepest sympathy to the whole family for your loss. I only had the privilege of knowing “Uncle” Gene for the past couple of years, but he was the best bean bag partner I ever had. The McGuire parties just won’t be the same without him. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

As a long time friend of my parents,
I've know Gene all of my life. He
was a warm and friendly guy and
always made us laugh. He was one
of those family friends that you
think of as an uncle. He will be
sorely missed. My heart goes out
to Anne and the rest of his family.
