Proudly serving his country in WWII, Gene continued his dedication to citizenship and became a pillar of his community through his devoted work to the numerous organizations that benefited from his time and integrity.

He will be missed as husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, uncle and friend, and his impact and memory will live on in all those who were fortunate to have known him.

To ensure your generosity and support are acknowledged - and to help protect you from future solicitations - Gene’s family has requested that memorial contributions be made through IN MEMORY OF to the following

St. Jude Children’s Hospital

The mission of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital is to advance cures, and means of prevention, for pediatric catastrophic diseases through research and treatment. Consistent with the vision of its founder Danny Thomas, no child is denied treatment based on race, religion or a family's ability to pay.

VFW Foundation

Tracing its roots back to 1899, the VFW was organized by veterans of the Spanish-American War (1898) and the Philippine Insurrection (1899-1902) who founded local organizations to secure rights and benefits for their service, particularly medical care and pension contributions. Today, the VFW Foundation continues to financially assist veterans by filling in governmental assistance gaps for troops abroad, military families back in the U.S. and America's often-forgotten veterans. These programs, including - VFW Post grants, veteran student scholarships, counsel and assistance for disability claims and funds for troops and families in need of housing, medical care or basic life costs - are provided at no cost to the recipients and require no Veterans of Foreign Wars affiliation. 

Gene was a proud member of the US Navy, serving aboard the destroyer USS Haynsworth.
