Oh my gosh, the wonderful times growing up together, the memories of working on cars and traveling to race venues in high school and college. A true East Rochester Rambler. In later years seeing that RV coming down the driveway with more wonderful times to be had. Donna, my heart goes out to you. He was quite a guy. Don
Very sorry to learn about Gene. We worked together at Rochester Products on Carburetors back in the 1960’s and 70’s. I haven’t seen Gene in many years, but his picture is as I remember him – was a great person to work with. Always had a friendly smile, and attitude.
Donna, Our Deepest Sympathy, Good memories of time spent together. Paul & Nancy
To my dear Uncle Gene, I have so many wonderful memories growing up with you in my life. When my Dad, (your older brother), passed away so young, you stepped up. Every family event, weddings of my children, graduations, etc., you were here with us in his place. The time we spent together gathering information for our extensive family geneology records will be forever one of my favorite memories. You will be greatly missed, and forever loved.
Our deepest condolences to Aunt Donna, our cousins and your many grandchildren.
With much love, Kathi, Tom and family.
