Gene loved to sing gospel music and sang with the Messenger Trio for a number of years. Later he went to local nursing centers to share his witness and talent.
Those close to Gene knew of his love for the outdoors. He loved fishing, hunting and gardening. He always had a beautiful lawn and an amazing garden. His sense of humor and the fun he had making others laugh will be missed by friends and family.
