I have very fond memories of my childhood going to "grandma and grandpas" house every Sunday. It didn't matter if we went for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, grandpa would always make sure we were well fed. Each year he would have the biggest, best looking garden imaginable, which he took great pride in. He was definitely a devoted husband, dad, brother, and grandfather and made everybody feel welcomed in his home.
I have had the pleasure of taking care of Gene and Dwayne for the last almost 4 months and I can say that it has been the best job I have ever had, Gene was the sweetest man I know and I loved to make him laugh. He loved his family and was a gentleman in every sense of the word. He raised a great family and they have been nothing but sweet to me all the time. I am going to miss Gene for a long long time and I know it was my honor to have been a part of his life. I love ya Gene.
