Dear Ruth, Chris, Margo and family,
I don’t have to tell you Gene was a great, devoted friend for many years. I’ll forever remember him as a loving, gentle and quiet man. He was always fun to be with, even when he was participating in the mattress snatching on those cabin trips. My sincere sympathy and love to you all.
So sorry for your loss . Kim and Tony Puleo .
We grieve with the family during this time. Their loss is heaven’s gain. Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. Matthew 5:4.
The righteous man perishes, and no one lays it to heart; devout men are taken away, while no one understands. For the righteous man is taken away from calamity; he enters into peace; they rest in their beds who walk in their uprightness. Isaiah 57:1-2
May God comfort everyone during this time!
Gary & Dana Paul
