Condolences to your family. I knew Gene through Laura Tustin’s family. I was Laura’s son, Rob’s, Mother-In-Law. So over the years we spent many family gathers together. He was from McKees Rocks, as was my late husband…so they had many a conversation about the “Rocks”! He was always nice to talk to. Sorry to hear of his passing! Sincerely, Barbara Herbert

So sorry to hear of Genes' passing. I've known Gene for 23 years and spent all of the holidays,birthdays,and special occasions visiting and catching up. Armchair politics,stories about how it used to be or just a "How you been kiddo?" Gene was always a gentleman and nothing but kind to me and my family. I'm gonna miss that guy....
