Gene and I were in the same academy class at the EOC in 1969 in Chesterfield.
He was always cheerful and had a smile. When we graduated he went to south county and I went to north county.
I always enjoyed seeing him at different times yearly at training sessions’.

I am sorry to hear of his passing. Gene and I were close friends at St Andrews Elementary and Bishop DuBourg High School. We both went into the service and lost contact for years until a class reunion a couple of years ago. Since then we connected via email often and enjoyed renewing old interest and sharing life experiences we enjoyed over the years.
I am sorry to just find out of Gene’s passing. I was with him one year at St. Andrews then Bishop Du Bourg, Then the 50th and 60th reunion and lunches at Hesslers. RIP old friend
