Comments My very deepest sympathy to all of the family. I will keep you in my prayers and ask God to bless each of you and help you through this very difficult time. Grandad was " one of a kind, a very kind and loving man. May your memories help all of you as you grieve for this special "greeter!, What a sweetheart he was! I 'm sure that God "greeted " him at Heavens' gate and welcomed him with open arms. I will say some extra prayers for you grandma as you try to cope.He is your guardian angel now and will help you love him from afar.

I am so sorry to hear about Gene. I have good memories of living on 9. May God be with all of you. " Barbara (Tucker) Skillman - November 21, 2011 at 04:54 PM
To Aunt Ruth and my Cousins, " I regret that I will not be there. Uncle Gene's passing closes a chapter in our family. My Mom and Aunt Ruth remain to share the family stories that hopefully we can still learn from them.
I will always remember Uncle Gene; his smile and good nature ... and that work ethic!
I am grateful that Gene and Ruth visited Mom this last year, but sorry I was not there.
I send my love to you dear family. Cousin Susan
