My father George Rollin Sadler was a teen boxer Marine and real estate developer and a friend of the Asher family. Charlie Sadler.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

To the Asher Family, 
Mr. Asher was a wonderful gentleman and a marvelous sports writer. He and my father, George Mathews, were friends and contemporaries and passed away within days of one another. I had the great pleasure and privilege of speaking with Mr. Asher by phone back in 2004, and I remember the conversation very fondly. His article about my father is one of our most precious family documents. Mr. Asher wrote with such style! I know you will miss him, and I send you my deepest sympathy.

Good friend-great man - loyal with all the positive wonderful character traits I can think of-Fellow Marine - Semper Fi and Blessings

My sincere condolences to family and friends. May you draw strength from the God of all comfort during your time of grief. Hosea 13:14

Gene was a very respected associate of the National Life Agency for a long time.   He helped many people and provided security for their families over the years.  He left quite a legacy in our firm.  He was a kind and giving individual. I continued our friendship long after he left our firm.  I truly enjoyed his company and all the stories he had to share about times past. I do know his family meant the world to him.   He will be greatly missed. I will keep your family in my thoughts and prayers and hope that happy memories will bring you comfort during this sad time.

My father, David Bell, and Gene were friends through their insurance careers.  Gene was a fine man.  He touched so many lives through his kindness, his love of people and his impeccable honesty. He truly made the world a better place.

Hi Susan,

Your father was a dear friend of mine and an inspiration to me.  He pushed me and pushed me and pushed me to publish LETTERS TO THE COACH, which he discovered while visiting Louise and me at "Twickenham." As a matter of fact, it was he who came up with the title. One of my goals was to accomplish that during his lifetime.  Although I'm still working on it, I'm ashamed of myself for not getting it done in time for him to see it.

He was a super man in all respects, and I shall miss him very much.  Please know that I share your grief.  You are in my thoughts and prayers.

I knew your Daddy through my Daddy . My Daddy name was Adrian S. Morris I know you are going to miss him. He was a fine man. Thinking of you in my prayers Ann Morris Fulton

May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.

There is hope for your love one that hope is Christ Jesus

I remember with pleasure reading Mr. Asher's columns in the sports section of the Journal, now many years ago.  He always had something interesting to say.  When he left for the insurance business, I missed my newspaper visits with him.  Please accept my sincere condolences on his passing.
Sincerely,

To the Family of Gene Asher,
I send my condolences to you.  My father also served in the Marine Corps during the Korean War.  May God grant you Peace and Comfort during this most difficult time.

I remember Gene fondly as we met a few times when I was seeking a new job in the life insurance industry. A great guy!

We are so sorry for your loss.  Gene was a dear friend of my parents, Sarah and Freddie Miller.  We just lost Mother a month ago, so we know what you're going through.  Take comfort in knowing that your Dad lived a long, happy life and has a loving family as his legacy. Sincere sympathy from the Murphy family-Mark, Denise, Sarah, Kelly, Brian, Megan, William, and James

Dear Susan and Laurie,
The Hopkins family is deeply saddened by the news of your father's death. He was a friend to all of us and our children in so many dimensions. I doubt there was a single wedding or funeral in our family that he did not attend. He also wrote policies on all of our parents' grandchildren. We all held him in high esteem and enjoyed and treasured his company in happy and sad times. Please know that our prayers will be with you during the coming days of healing his loss. Thank you for sharing him with so many fortunate friends.

Lee Walburn introduced me to Gene when I first moved to Atlanta. Through the years, as we would cross paths, he would always have a smile on his face and an engaging story to share. His love for journalism-- for finding the perfect words -- was obvious May his memory be a blessing to family and friends.

I'm very sorry to hear that my friend Gene Asher passed away in peace. And may his friends and me learn from Gene Asher from all of the good deeds that he did in his life time. I bless you in the name of Howard Hillman and all the residents here on the fourth floor.

We can put  full trust in what the Bible says about the dead living again because God gave life to all living creatures so he certainly is capable of restoring life to someone who has died (Acts 17:24,25).
