I have just found out about Gene's death now in 2019! Sad that no word came up to Jacksonville. Others who worked with him & knew him here did not know either. Gene & I worked together in Jacksonville at the Central location of Hardage -Giddens. He was a pleasure to work with, a funny guy all the time. I have thought of him many times, not knowing he had already died. Next time at Florida National, I'll visit his grave & say hello".
I enjoyed knowing and working with Gene. Gene and I had some good laughs together as we tried to get one up on each other. My condolences to Sue and family.
My condolences to the family. I have known Gene for over 30 years, having worked with him at the old Carey Hand Funeral Home in downtown Orlando before it burned. He was a funny guy, a pleasure to work with, and a true caring professional.
