Condolence: Gene was a very active member of the Aviano Reunion Association for over 25 years and was a dear friend to all who knew him. We looked forward to seeing Gene and Jean, his bride of 66 years, at every reunion. Serving as our Historian, his scrapbooks and photos were always enjoyed by all as we sat in the Hospitality Room and reminisced about our past reunions and our years at Aviano Air Base. He was a gentleman, a wonderful singer and dancer, and a patriot. Our prayers to Jean, Gay, Brent and the family.
