Norma & family I am so sorry for your loss. I worked with Gene for many years. I always enjoyed stopping to visit with Gene when I was spending time with my parents in Apache Junction. When I was finally able to be a snowbird myself 7 years ago I was disappointed to hear you had moved back to Mn. I know you enjoyed a wonderful retirement. Gene will be missed!
