Sherrie and family, I am so sorry to hear of your loss.
ReplyDeleteYour Dad was a wonderful Boss and friend. Gene and Betty were such a sweet couple. Gene brought happiness everywhere he went, with that sweet smile and laugh. I will never forget him and I feel I was Blessed to have known both your parents.
May God be with you during this time of sorrow.

I have so many fond memories of Gene. Was in Musk. a year ago and saw him in the Mall. Was so good to see him again and visit. I worked with him at JCP for several years and we has so many laughs. He was a jewel...so kind and considerate to all of us. I treasure knowing him. God bless you Gene. You will be missed.
ReplyDeleteI met Gene while training with Anthony's and then moved to Poteau where I managed that Anthony's store. Sherrie, I et you and your family while there. Enjoyed Gene and had run into him over the years afteer I moved back to Muskogee. He was always a pleasure to be around. I remember his little "happy dance" he would brek into spontaneously. All my love and parayers.
