Gene was employed by Freeman Decorating Co. for 43 years. He loved his job and the people he worked with, Gene will always be remembered for his fun loving, outgoing personality, and his great Christian faith. Gene lived for his family and others, never missing an opportunity to meet new friends. It can truly be said that Gene never met a stranger. He enjoyed life and he enjoyed building things throughout his life, whether it be furniture, toys or birdhouses. He was a member of Wildwood Baptist Church. He leaves behind a host of friends and relatives. Most importantly, Gene (Daddy, G-daddy) "lived" and let us all watch him do it. He set a standard for love, leaving us a legacy to carry and share!
