I was friends with Gene back. In the 60’s
He was driving a red GTO.
We lost track with other somewhere along the line.
We drove Nettleton Ave and Jack’s drive inn.
He was such a nice guy always had a neat smile, it sure burdens my heart to learn of his passing.
I which we had spent more time together.
He was ver popular on the strip and had a lot of friends..
RIP MY DEAR FRIEND!!!
