Gene was a happy, kind person who loved a good joke. He started his career at Millenacker Motors and Implement in Adams. Gene spent 28 years at Adamson Motors.

Mary, Mark, Sharon, the kids and grandkids,
my heartfelt condolences over Gene's passing. Mary, I remember with great fondness sitting in your kitchen having breakfast with you and Gene and getting to know you.
Your cousin, Greg.
Mary and family, our most sincere condolences to you. I (Jim) first met Gene at Adamsons in the early 70's when "dealing" on a new auto like 100s of others living in the Rochester area. We "dealt" many times over almost 30 years. Knowing Gene through Adamsons and St Pius X activities I reflect how he always made me feel good about myself and other people. I am sure we join others in saying Gene made the world a better place for all who knew him! Becky and Jim Cook.
Mary - I am sorry for your loss. My thoughts are with you and your family during this difficult time
Mary and family. You have my deepest sympathy. Very glad we seen you both at our class reunion. Am sorry I will not make it to the funeral, but you are all in my thoughts and prayers. Theresa

I am so grateful we were able to connect this summer in Kipling. Gene had a way of putting everyone at ease. He was a great conversationalist with a good sense of humour. He was a gentle, kind man.
So sorry we can't come to the service. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all
