We were one of the lucky owners of one of Gene's Mustangs. This is a 1983 Convertible. We are the second owner. It has a 5.0 five speed manual transmission. Drove to Florida last fall. It is now stored in Okeechobee,FL. Still a very fast car! RIP Gene! We are sure you must be in a Mustang club in heaven.
So sorry for your loss. I knew him thru his dedication as an usher. Would often tip the basket on me. Wonderful man.
Cindy, Our thoughts and prayers are with you regarding your Father. We are so blessed to have you and Rich as Friends and getting to know members of your beautiful Family. May God grant you comfort knowing Dad Gene lives on with our Lord and Savior. Peace be with you. Love, Julie & Kurt Thomas
Matt and family, sending heartfelt thoughts and prayers to all who know and love Gene. Recently thoughts and memories of days gone by rekindled through a conversation I had with my brother Tim. May you all find comfort in the days ahead.
