My Uncle Eugene was a big part of my childhood. The earth just lost a great man. But heaven just received one. God bless you Uncle Gene.

We will always cherish the love We felt from Bro. Gene going to church with him was such a blessing and the things he taught us will never be forgotten. He was one of the kindest souls we have ever know. We know he is now home with his Lord and we will live like he would want us to do one day we can all have that great reunion! All our love and prayers for Sister Dorthea and all of his family always 💜
