Gene is a veteran of the Korean War, where he earned several medals. He grew up in Dallas surrounded by a close knit family that included his Abohosh cousins. The GeBron & Abohosh families always lived near each-other, helped each-other & looked out for each-other during rough times.
Gene was always thought of as a true gentleman and one that would give the shirt off of his back to help another. He was also the one that would step up and fight if he saw an injustice. He had many experiences in his life and those that knew him, respected him and loved his stories, one of which when he was mistaken in Las Vegas as a Mafia crime boss. He did have wonderful stories to tell.
