I’m going to miss your sense of humor and all your wonderful stories. You always made me feel loved and part of the family. I’m thankful you are at peace now.

I love you old friend.
You will be with me always.
Uncle Gene,
Thank you for being the BEST Uncle in the world. Your gentle spirit and generous nature will be sorely missed. Your wicked sense of humor, and the fact that you were such any easy target for our jabs, will leave a huge void at family gatherings. Although Freddy might disagree, YOU were definitely our FUNNIEST Uncle
If there is a Casino in Heaven I know you have already found it…..Alice at your side, a Royal Flush in your hand, and a big grin on your face……..
We Love you Always and Forever,
Lisa, Roy, & Beth
Rest easy now Bub. Take our love with you into that next peacefull life.
WE LOVE YOU, TILL WE MEET AGAIN…
