I do not personally know Gene, but I do know the Arndt family as we lived and grew up in Cottage Grove, too. We offer our condolences to the family. Linda (Kessler) & Jerry Dollak Portland, TN

Gene and Ken and folks had a joining property to my folks The lived east of us and went monona school district and we lived west. Both families had their choice to which what school they wanted their kids to go to! Great family friends!. I will always remember!!!!❤❤❤❤

To the Arndt family,my deepest sympathy to you in the loss of your brother Gene. He was a good cousin and I will always remember him as Baby Gene.

I went to the USA in 1982 as an AFS student to do my senior year in Monona Grove High School. Came from Paraguay, a country in south America nobody knew anything about. Then Geno comes around, he showed me the place and out of the blue we became buddies. We had a lot of fun and many stories to tell. Like the time we were doing doughnuts in the frozen parking lot of the mall and the police came and gently asked us to stop doing stupid things or the countless times we went for Little Caesar`s pizza an beer (He was the beer guy, I was more a Jack Daniels kind of guy). I´ve kept in touch with him all these years. Technology cached up and lately we did videocalls, it was great. The last days we were talking about life and death. I told him one answer i like and it came from an interview to a famous actor, Keanu Reeves. The interviewer asked him, What happens when you die? and his answer was.. People that loved you will miss you. That is me my dear friend.

Condolences to the entire family. Thinking of you and wishing you moments of peace and comfort as you remember someone who was so close to you all. We will keep you in our prayers and thoughts. -Charlene and Mike Dolfen
