Gene Shirley was an American patriot beloved by every US Marine & Navy Corpsman who served with or knew him! His enthusiasm, humor, wisdom, generosity & dedication to his fellow Warriors was always deeply appreciated. For many decades he faithfully attended fraternal gatherings with groups such as the First Marine Division Association, the Chosin Few, and the Marine Corps Coordinating Council of Greater Oregon & Washington. His insights and wicked humor garnered him the love & appreciation of all of us. What a positive team player! Col Mike Howard US Marines (Ret), Helvetia, Oregon

Madlynn and I were saddened to hear of the death of Gene Shirley.  We knew he'd been in ill health and we hadn't seen him for a year or longer.  Gene was a good neighbor and a friend to our entire family for 35 years.  We will all miss his friendly greeting and kind words.
