Gene was Head Sawyer and lumber grader for Richmond's Sawmill, as well as Szepanski Sawmill both of St. Charles.  He then opened his own business, "Gene's Repair" which he and Janet successfully operated for over 25 years.

He enjoyed life and he loved people.  He always had a smile on his face and was there to help anyone who needed a hand.  Things that brought him great joy were dancing with his wife, spending time with his grandson, playing cards and simply joking around.

He was baptized as one of Jehovah's Witnesses on October 14, 1967.  He loved sharing his faith with others.  Gene battled with Parkinson's for over 28 years.  His loving wife was his best friend who cared for and always supported him.
