Gene married Nancy Rae Mault on March 17, 1961 in the Salt Lake Temple and they were blessed with 3 boys and 3 girls who brought great happiness into their lives and taught them unconditional love. He had a deep abiding love for his wife and family, especially for Nancy who he affectionately described as his second savior, caregiver, and partner willing to take on all challenges.
