Gene was a kind and funny Lakesider who I was fortunate to get to know over the past 10 years. He will be missed...
Oh So Many Memories. Remember when your folks moved in next door to us, that started a beautiful friendship between us and your folks. We spent vacations together, every Monday night was sharing a few beer at our kitchen table before they had children. I remember Diana going to your house and asking if Puggy if he could come out and play. Remember vacation at Lake Leelawnaw when Allen and Mike were babies. Remember getting cases of beer from for Ted and Effie Williams ( it was cheaper by the dozen from the brewery.) I remember going over and rocking Mike, as you had worn your mom out. Your mom was at my house the morning I went into labor for Allen and she didn't even know it, was shocked when I called her 3 hours later with the news I had a baby boy.. She sent Diana Mild Duds even after we moved to the other side of the state.I remember Allen and Mike fishing up at the cottage. Your family visited us many time after we moved and had many new adventures. I will remember our wonderful times we shared for many years. My Love and Prayers are with you Michael and Karen at this time of your loss.. Also, Karen I was so sorry for the loss of your husband to COVID, I knew nothing about that..
