I use to always love going over to my Uncle Gene & Aunt Linda's house! He would always spend quality time with all of us kids! He had a sweet tooth just like me & would always let me come & grab as big as my hands were 2 handfuls of candy or gum...it would make my day! I use to always love crawling into his lap, & just sitting there for hours watching t.v. , telling stories, teasing & picking on my Aunt together lol & what not! We lost contact over the years which is a shame, but what i do remember is he was a very generous, funny, loving guy with a kind soul!

I’m sorry I didn’t know my uncle died! I found out today from my sister. He’ was the fun uncle growing up. I can still remember him in the orange Hawaiian shirt strutting around grandpas house. Lost contact with him after my mom (his sister) passed away 10 years ago. Rest In Peace Uncle- you were definitely an influence to me while growing up!
