I miss you so much big brother. I had great plans for us to grow closer when you moved next door. But it wasn’t  meant to be   

I remember when I first met Gene, I had just started working at Nasco and he called me over to take my break with him; that would be the first of many times that he did that over the years that I worked there. He would use those breaks to ask me how I was doing, give me some kind of personal advice or direction, or let me know how I could improve in the work place. Those conversations were always sincere and genuine; years later looking back on it I see the kindness and concern of his heart that he had for the young & troublesome man that I was at that time. There were opportunities afforded to me there because he would vouch for me and give me the opportunity to prove myself; and Gene was the kind of guy to get right along side you in the work, to make sure it got done and that it got done right. He was a great boss, and a great friend, and I am saddened to hear of his passing on. My condolences to all his family, and friends,  and his Nasco-family, that had the honor of knowing him in the years that he was with us. God bless.

Gene was the kindest person I had the pleasure of knowing.  He loved his family dearly.  He will truly be missed by all who knew him.  My deepest condolences to his family.  Rest in paradise Gene until we meet again.

Saddened with the news of your passing, My Son Manny and I knew Gene as part of the Nasco Family for many years,  a wonderful and pleasant person he was to work with. You will be greatly missed, Rest in Peace my Friend. 
Our Deepest Condolences to the Family.

Gene Cole was my Friend..... we worked together for 35 years,  and I  never heard a harsh word about anyone or anything out of his mouth. Gene was a very kind person, that loved  his family, and was sooo proud of his children and Grandchildren.  I am saddened that such a wonderful kind hearted man is gone from this world.  We shared many memories and laughter over the years at NASCO,  he had a wealth of triva knowledge too, anything you had a question, I would say ... Ask Gene.  He will know...  and he did..  I have many fond memories of Gene... he was always a  kind  FRIEND..   my heart breaks for the love 💕 of his life his wife  Pam ... and their children David & Katelan.  I pray for your comfort during this very difficult time.  Gene we will see you again in Paradise.. Rest In Peace  Friend.   Hazel 


This is so hard to believe that my Friend/Nasco Family Member  Gene is gone to Rest in Paradise. We just spoke to each other about a week in a half ago, talking about old times and getting caught up on current stuff. Gene Was a Good Hearted Person and a Great Person to work with. He was always their to help if it was needed. You could ask Gene about Music Artist's or about  Movies and he would be able to tell you who it was and even give you the year it was played in.  At work Gene was the Go to Person if You didn't know about a product or how to pack or process something on the shipping line Gene would be the person that Everyone would be looking for.  Gene I just want to say Thank You so much for Helping me and being my Friend and my Nasco Family. We all will Truly Miss You. Rest in Paradise You have Truly Earned Your Wings. Please help in keeping a watch over Us.
Sincerely,
Margo
