Kathy, you did a wonderful job with the pictures, so many memories. Uncle Gene was always there for us, he could play any musical instrument by ear, he could build anything, always loved the grandfather clock he built. Him and your mom were so good after I lost mother, I stayed with them after I left the hospital, He was willing to lend the hand anytime needed. So many things I remember that was done for us. He is free from pain and worry now, always watching over you and the rest of your family. He loved you'll so much, I remember when you were born. He glowed. He will live forever in my heart. RIP Uncle Gene, my love has always been with you and your family.
