Our heart is saddened for the loss of Uncle Gene. He was a very God fearing man who loved his wife, family and friends. He was a very generous man who gave so much to so many and will be greatly missed. May God bless his precious family and give each of them a peace that passes all understanding, especially his wonderful wife, Kate, of many years.

I was saddened to learn of Gene’s demise. Though I haven’t seen him in many years I remember his friendship and kindness and that of Kate when I first met Barbara 45 years ago. He was very protective of her and checked me out thoroughly. The Forrestier brothers were a greatcexample to me in those days. Sincere condolences
