Gene was born in Abilene, Kansas on September 23rd, 1927 to George and Verlie May Entrikin, the youngest of four children. At the age of 2 they moved to the west settling in Skagit Valley. Gene attended local schools graduating in 1945 from Burlington-Edison High School. He received his teaching degree from Western Washington College in 1951. In 1969, he graduated with his Masters Degree from Stout State University in Wisconsin. He served his country spending time in Korea. He took great pride in flying the American Flag and made sure his children knew how to fold a flag appropriately. His 30 years of teaching at Burlington Edison High School as an Industrial Arts and plastics teacher was a highlight of his life. His creativity touched the lives of his students and he often reflected upon the "great" kids with whom he was fortunate to work. In 1981 he was recognized as the Washington State Industrial Arts teacher of the year. He served as president and secretary of the Burlington Kiwanis with 17 years of perfect attendance. He was honored with a National Education appointment to instruct in Ethiopia the summer of 1971. He was a member of the Allen Methodist Church, the Elk's Lodge, and Skagit Golf & Country Club. One of Gene's greatest passions was spending his time at Dewey Beach where he spent countless hours crabbing, fishing and clamming. His grandchildren all cherish being taught to catch their first humpies from shore under his watchful eye. It was his absolute joy to share the bounty of the sea with his family and friends. After retirement, Gene went from the BEHS shop to his own, where he never skipped a beat. He was a talented woodworker, carver and Mr. Fix-it. His curiosity and spontaneity sparked all kinds of projects. There was nothing he wouldn't do and always believed there was a way to get the job done. His patience and perfectionism resulted in some amazing creations. He married Shirley Harrison in 1951 and raised 3 children. He was preceded in death by his parents and his sister Lucille Henderson. He is survived by his wife Shirley at the family home, his children, Shari (Randy) Tastad and their children Stephanie Flowers (James) and Tyler Tastad, all of Wenatchee; Jody Beckwith (Tom) and children Mackenzie and Conner of Mercer Island; Kevin Entrikin (Kim) and children Kasey and Amy of Bow, brother Paul (Merle) Entrikin, sister Irene (Lloyd) Ingham, sister-in-law, Betty Johnson, brother and sister-in-law, Bob and Agnes Harrison. The family is celebrating his life with a private gathering at the graveside and invite friends to Kevin Entrikin's shop for a casual reception on Thursday, December 21, 2006 from 2-4 PM. Please dress comfortably and casually for our celebration and sharing of fond memories. Viewing will be held on Wednesday, December 20, 2006 from 9-5 at Hulbush Funeral Home.
