Gene was sweet, loving, caring and honest. He loved his children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. He loved to smoke and no matter how many times everyone tried to make him stop he refused. He worked on cars, in the lumber mill, and helped out with homework. He was a second dad to all his grandkids and great grandkids.
He has a headstone in Post Falls, Idaho, but it's just that his ashes were cremated and given to his wife. His daughter Annie passed away 2 years after he did.
