Condolences to Gene´s family. I met Gene and Connie years ago. We lived in the same neighborhood. Lost contact with them and often wondering how they were doing along with his sister Bobbie. Rest in peace buddy. We will meet again some day.

Connie was a good friend of mine. We were working at Wal-Mart together when she started dating Gene so I got to know him pretty good. They were both wonderful people, it's a shame they both left us too early but at least they are together again.

So sorry to hear of Gene's passing. It has been a year or so since we last spoke and I am shocked at the news.
