W. Dennis Obituary

Dear DJ, Will and Al:

My Uncle Bubber Gene was a very special man. He was so loved by so many and will be missed very much. Maybe all the fish in all the rivers and the lakes won't miss him since he could catch them when nobody else could. He had many special talents and fishing was one he conquered like nobody else had. All my childhood memories of him are happy ones. He always made me feel special and made me laugh. I wish I had spent more time with him and let him teach me more about life. He loved his family so very much and has left a wonderful legacy for you all. Take up that mantle and keep his good name going. The Good Lord blessed us with good parents who taught us right from wrong and those standards still apply today. Remember that we will see them all again one day and what a glad reunion that will be. I love you all very much and will be praying for you.

Will,we have been without power for the past few days due to the ice storm we had here in the Upstate. I just found out about Uncle Gene, as I always called him. He was a special man. He always had a smile no matter who you were. He was a friend. When he was at Grier Bros., everyone wanted to deal with Mr. Eugene, nobody else, because he treated everyone like they were special. He was SPECIAL. I enjoyed going hunting with him and once or twice I went fishing with him and Grandaddy Sydney Hughes. When those two got together , they could tell some stories. You and the rest of the family are in my prayers. May God give you all the strength to go on with life.

Dear Doris Jean and Will,

Uncle Eugene was a really special man. I always enjoyed the time I spent with him. He was so easy to talk to and always had a pleasant way about him. For many years I didn't get to spend much time with him. A few years ago though I felt a tug at my heart and I decided to make it a point to stay in touch with him. Over the course of the next few years we spoke several times by telephone and even went to lunch a few times. He was always a joy to talk to and we made plans to try and go fishing sometime. We never got to go on that fishing trip, but I am so thankful for our conversations and visits together. He was loving, full of life, and truly one of the finest people I have ever known. I am proud to say I knew him. When he would smile that great big smile of his it would melt my heart. He was the kind of man that loved Jesus and it showed through his actions. I know he will be missed by all who knew him. He touched my life and I will surely miss him. I know that he is in Heaven though and now God has one more angel with a great big smile.

Dear D.J., Alvin, and Will,



I am so very sorry to hear that your father, Eugene, passed away. He was such a likable person, and had the ability to deal with people from all walks of life, while making them feel at ease. He and his sister, Eunice, were so much alike. Eunice married my first cousin, and neighbor, Phillip Poston. While I was in college Phillip and Eunice farmed our farm as well as their own. I stayed with them several summers and worked on the farm. Your grandmother, Mrs. Minnie, and I helped put in tobacco, and work up the cured tobacco. We had some long great talks.

I went to church with Eunice and Phillip in Johnsonville, and often ate at Lynch's restaurant where your mother worked. I would buy my gasoline from Eugene when he was with Wellman. He did love to go fishing didn't he. Eugene always had a great attitude, and was a pleasant and a hard worker. I never saw him in a fowl mood. Now I've never known him to let people push him around, but he had a tackful way of discussing the problem with them so there was no hate involved. Eugene always made me feel a part of the family. I appreciate that so much. I learned of his death by searching the web at near midnight on the 15th. I live about 500 miles away so I won't have time to get to the funeral.



I would ask you children to remember that as long as one is loved and remembered, they live. We will keep Eugene alive for a long time to come, and we will teach our children about him. May God Bless Each Of You In Your Time Of Sorrow, and in the future.

Doris Jean,

Sorry to here of your dad's passing. May God bless you and your family. I played softball with you few years ago.

Will and Doris Jean,

I was so sorry to hear that Mr. Eugene pased away. It was a shock to me and I know it was to you. I hadn't seen him in a long time but we all have a lot of pictures in our memory from all those years we spent growing up together! We won't be able to come home but please know that my and Connie's prayers are with you. Can't you just imagine the big time that he and your momma and Mrs. Bellflowers are having!! And just think, someday we'll see them again!

Love,

Todd and Connie

May the love of God bring peace to your lives now and forever more. Your father was a very special and wonderful man. I am his niece and I can remember him when I was 4 years old. I always called him "Bubba Gene". He has a very special way with people. I know that he touched my hearts and lives. I can rejoice now knowing that he is in heaver with his 2 wives and 2 children. He lost his first wife, Margaret and his first 2 children, Sharon and Peggy in a house fire. His second wife, Bonnie Faye died of natural causes and his other three childres are all still living.



He was especially close to my mother, his sister, Eunice Dennis Poston. Thank god for all his blessing and the assurance of his promise that we can be with him and with all our loved one who have gone on before us. My heart is sad and glad at the same time. Eugene lived a full life, he still enjoyed his fishing, hunting and working around the house. He never ever complained about anything. He was so special to me and I will miss him very much, but I am so happy that he is in heaven now. I pray that the other children will be strong and turn to God and accept him into their lives so they too can join their parents in heaven. God bless all of you. With all my love, Allison Lundy.

Sorry to hear of your Dad's passing. Our prayers will be with you.
