  1. Unfortunately I never got the chance to meet Gene but I know how much his family loved him. I am very sorry for their loss and am praying for their comfort.

  2. Gene was a child hood friend, God Bless you all. We are all Sojourner here waiting on God’s calling up. Gene will not be forgotten.

  3. Dear Nancy, We were so sorry to hear of Gene’s passing. Absent from the body present with the Lord! What could be better. We feel sad for you and your children of course. Gene was always such a nice person and we thought a lot of him. We would have been to his visitation,but we live in South Carolina now. God Bless you and your family.

  4. We are so saddened by Gene’s passing and grateful that we were able to visit for awhile in July with him and Nancy and Teresa. They will be in our prayers for comfort and peace and God’s direction for the future.

  5. We have fond memories of Gene when we were growing up. Dad and his mother were cousins. We are very sorry for your loss. With Sympathy, Bea Zaharako Linda Zaharako Hallum Betsy Z. Panayides Joe Zaharako John Zaharako
