Add A Memories and Photos Gene and I became good friends during our volunteer work at Highland. He was always ready with a joke. As time went on our conversations included family, politics and cooking. But for the most part, it was about family, always about our grand children. I shared many of our conversations with my wife - except for the jokes! I will miss Gene in my life.
Barbara: I am so sorry to hear about Gene from Patty Kulju, I will keep you all in my prayers.
Fran and I are so very sorry. It was an honor to know him
Working at Highland, seeing Gene every Monday morning, being greeted as "Dear" with a bright loving smile was the most wonderful way to start the week. We connected as having friends in common (The Ledermans) as well as the fact that his daughter Andrea was my son's favorite teacher of all. He loved his family and friends and was beloved by all he greeted at Highland: patients, visitors and staff. He is already missed. With much love, jenny
Barbara and Family, We are so sorry to learn of Gene’s sudden passing. Our deepest condolences to all of you. He certainly was a very special and loving person who made everyone he met feel that way. May his memory be for a blessing. Always, Lori and Robert
It’s with our deepest sympathy to hear of Gene’s passing. We always enjoyed seeing him. Thinking of all of you at this difficult time.
I once learned that the traditional saying “may his memory be for a blessing” means that not just is the memory of him significant, but that the way he lived his life will encourage other significant blessings to be done by others. That is who I knew Gene to be— someone who was both a worker and a leader, and a true Tzadik. He was intelligent, kind, and so incredibly easy to talk to. My deepest sympathy to the whole family.
My very deepest sympathies to all of you. He was a wonderful man and I know you are all feeling this loss deeply. I have you in my thoughts and prayers.
I'm shocked and saddened today. I spent many happy hours with Gene, playing golf in the Wednesday night league. For the record - Gene played better than I did, and when we really needed some points we would bring Todd in to help us out. Todd was our ringer. Often the best part of the evening was dinner after the game. Gene made friends with everyone and I loved listening to him kibbitz with the people around us. Few of us golfers knew that Gene volunteered at Highland Hospital. He was so great with the people who came in and needed directions. His warmth helped them when they really needed it. Family was everything to Gene, especially his grandkids. He loved keeping me up to date on the jokes they would tell him. Gene was special and I'm going to miss him a lot.
My deepest sympathies to Barb and family. Gene brought so much joy and humor to his friends. Hope he’s playing cards with my dad.
