I was saddened by the report of Gene's passing.  I am so glad that I stopped in to see him right before Christmas.  We thought that he was no longer at the house shortly after since we saw no lights.  I wanted to send a card to De, but I do not know the address, so wanted the family to know that we are thinking of them.  I met Gene when my children were small and he used to walk by with his dog, Mac, Max?.  He started out just calling me Mom since I was usually outside with the kids.  After his wife died, I started dropping in on him once in awhile just to check on him.  As he was doing better, it was mostly around holidays that I would drop off some baked goods.  If he was out sitting on the porch in nice weather, I would beep and he would wave.  He shared some of his black walnuts with me - and then I made black walnut cookies to share with him.  He also gave me a small wooden stool that he had made.  I will miss Gene and the twinkle in his eye when he would ALWAYS ask - "You've lost some weight, haven't you?"  It was never true, but it always made me smile.  I am hoping that the family also have fond memories to help them through this difficult time.  It will be hard to drive by his home and not look for him on the porch this summer.  My prayers are with you all.

I am so sorry for your loss.  I met Gene shortly after we moved in a few houses down from him.  He stopped in to say hi and since then if he would see me outside, he would stop in to have a chat.  I will miss driving by in the mornings on my way to work during the summer and see him sitting on the porch and waving or looking out his window and waving.  RIP Gene

sincerely,

Hi Delene, Jerry and family, 
So sorry to read of your Dad's passing.  He always remembered me whenever I saw him McDonalds grocery store etc.  He always had a smile.  What a nice Dad.  I'll always remember him driving around in the coolest cars!   

Thinking of you,
