GENE HAS ACCOMPLISHED HIS SUCCESS

Gene lived well, laughed often and loved much.  He earned the respect of many good men and called them friends. He was loved and trusted by many wonderful woman. Gene adopted many young men into his sphere of influence and taught them self-reliance, how to change a tire, how to change your oil, how to fix your brakes. Gene was a man’s man, but was proud to say he was a mama’s boy.  He was a family man.  He loved his wife, he loved his family and it gave him great joy that his daughter Eugenia carried is name. Gene looked for the best in others and always gave the best of himself.  Gene would want his life to motivate people, to love and serve the Lord, to hold fast to the profession of our faith. Gene filled his niche and accomplished his task. God has said “Well done my GOOD and FAITHFUL servant. Enter into My rest.”
