I have the fondest memories of Gene. Met him first at Walnut Hills in the early 70’s. Then, when I was returning to the area and needed employment , he was at Beechwood. He called my mom to ask if I was the person he knew at Walnut. When mom said, yes, he said I should call him when I got to town. That job saved my life at that time: my deepest sympathy to his family. He was a good man!
