Gene was a great person I enjoyed helping him and talking to him when he came into our Hardware store in Scandia. He was one of my favorite customers. Prayers to the family he will be missed

With loving memories of Papa Gene. One of the greats.
Rita, I only met Gene once. It was at a graduation party, and the interactions between the two of you showed that you lived a lot of years together as great friends. You were comfortable with each other, laughed easily at each other’s witty comments, and the love you shared was obvious. He was very friendly and easy to talk to. I am so sorry you have lost him so soon. It is not fair. It is heart-breaking. You have 50 years of wonderful memories to help you through this difficult time. These memories will bring the harsh sting of loss at first, eventually they will bring you comfort, and in time they will bring you smiles and laughter. I am praying for you and your family that all the wonderful memories you have of Gene will bring you the comfort and solace you are seeking. Hugs.
