During his time in the Navy, Gene was aboard both the USS Franklin and the USS Ticonderoga where both survived Japanese attacks. Specifically, while aboard the USS Franklin, the ship was attacked by a kamikaze plane where a lot of sailor's were killed or injured. After being told to abandon the ship, the crew refused because of the fiery water and made their way back to San Diego. Gene was a lifelong farmer in the Cloud County and Limon, Colorado areas. He married Charlene Rich on June 29, 1958 at the Wesleyan Church in Miltonvale. Gene was known best for his mechanical and carpenter skills although he could literally fix anything. He thoroughly enjoyed keeping all of his boys' vehicles running while at the same time, teaching them how to fix them. He was a member of The Wesleyan Church in Concordia and the Full Gospel Business Men's Fellowship. Gene enjoyed whistling along with his wife playing the piano and several church and community functions. He loved and encouraged his family in all interests and will be missed by all.
