This is to all of his family. I worked with him at Mecklenburg and it was a pleasure to be around him. He was such a kind and wonderful person. Have talked to him even after we both retired. Stephanie he talked about you quite often. He was always saying Steph this or Stephie that, you truly were his world. Just wanted you all to know that the people that worked with him loved him too. May God bless all of you.

As I sit here on the eve of your funeral Uncle Gene I find myself thinking back over the years and how many laughs we shared amongst other discussions on life and family I realize just how much I will miss you and how much I love you. Rest easy and when you see Grandma Lila and Arthur tell them I said hey and I love them.
Stephanie I love you and I’m praying for you and the boys. I know you were the apple of his eye and he truly bragged on you often to me and those boys he loved them so and worried about all of y’all you were a blessing to him.
Uncle Cecil, Uncle Obie, Momma and Aunt Pat, he was your brother and I know you will all miss him but he’s in a better place and I’m sure he was so glad to see his lost loved ones kinda makes me jealous that he gets hang out with them but I know one day I will see them all again too. I love each and every one of you and I’m praying for you all.

He always expressed his Love for you & and your 2 boys. I pray that you find peace in knowing that your Daddy is not suffering anymore. He will be with you every minute of every day and you will be reminded of how great of a man & a daddy he was. Cherish the memories that you have made in your lifetime with him. I’m sorry I won’t be attending the service due to the pandemic, I want to leave the space for you & your family. Please know how much I Loved your Daddy & I miss him already beyond words. My thoughts & prayers are with you & your 2 boys at this time & all the days to come!!! Take care & Love You!! Hope to see & hear from You soon. #RIP GENE I LOVE YOU!!
