So sorry for your loss. Gene and myself spent much time together riding dirt bikes and then street machines. Love him like a brother and praying for him and all his loved ones.
We will all miss his great smile, great artistic talent, and compassion. Growing up as a friend I was fortunate to have those memories of him. The picture chosen for him is so perfect a memory of being around him. My condolences to all.
So sorry about the loss of this great man, as someone who worked with him almost everyday for the last 8 or so years I’m sure gonna miss him. He was great to work with. He loved his kids, he was compassionate towards All animals. His wisecracks would make you laugh hysterically. He loved his harley and riding bikes. Was an awesome artist. And outworked the young guys. Truly I’ll never forget this man. Rest in peace buddy.
I’m so sorry to hear about Gene, we became friends in the third grade. We lost touch decades ago, but to this day when I drive down Howard road and go by the street he grew up on I always wonder what he’s doing.
I believe he lived on Arrowhead dr.
He was a very good artist when we were kids he taught me how to draw a face that I still think about and draw sometimes.
