Please except my condolences. May you find comfort in knowing that your dear one is safe in the memory of God, who will remember every detail about him and bring him back again. John 5:28, 29 gives this assurance.
Gerald & Carl -so sorry to hear about Gene. I have fond memories of us all growing up in our old neighborhood. Prayers for your family. It’s hard losing your siblings, we’ve lost Sherri, Gerald and Angie to cancer.

I am so very sorry. I knew him when I was a teenager. Something made me think about him last night. I looked him up this morning and found this obituary. It has been over forty years since I last saw him. My condolences to the family.
