Our dearest brother, brother-in-law, uncle, great-uncle, cousin and friend to many.
Gene was a Teacher, Principal and Administrator in the City of St. Louis Public School system for over 30 years. He enjoyed coaching his four boys in Little League, playing cards with friends, martinis (extremely dry), cheap cigars, trips to the casino and vacationing in Pensacola, Florida.
The family would like to thank the special staff and aids at Southview Assisted Living and Memory Care and the Staff of AccentCare Hospice for their caring attention to Gene.

To Mike and Jan Lewis and the entire family, our deepest condolences! With love!
Gene, Jim, Jeff and Jay,
I was so sorry to hear about your dad’s passing, and I regret that I was unable to attend the wake. I have many memories of great times with your family. I loved your dad’s kindness and the sound of his laugh.
Sincerely, Diane Ortleb Robinson
Thanks, Diane. We had many, many good times growing up. Miss those times!
