Gene, I’m at a loss for words. This world lost an amazing person. I’m keeping your children and grandchildren in my prayers during this difficult road. I can’t believe I’ll never see you again. Rest easy my friend. Until I see you again!
Uncle bub, it’s brat, we all miss you so much, but know you’re no longer in pain. I know heaven sounds beautiful right now with you, papaw and uncle Randy. You three sure do know how to paint the sky some beautiful colors. I make sure to send them to Michael. Please continue to guide your babies and let it be known you’re around. We love you so much.
Distance made it hard to be closer but uncle Bub, you always made sure I knew I had someone in my corner through socials. I’m thankful for the silly comments back and forth, wish i had access to them. Keep watch over your babies and grands, they have a pretty rad soul watching from above now.
I love you papa I miss you I miss your hugs and having fun together I will miss you dearly love you
