Gene was known as a very outgoing person that knew how to lighten up a room.  He was always the life of the party; knew how to brighten up your day even at your lowest of times.  He could crack a joke and put a smile on your anyone’s smile.  Gene made a big impact on everyone he encountered.  Once you met him, you could never forget him.  The most authentic, raw, blunt, energetic, courageous and outspoken person we knew.  “Old Skool” was the type to step out the box with crazy fashion sense.  A man with his own swagger and talents.  He loved many things from sunglasses, dress hats,  jewelry, cooking, dancing, music and last but not least the Pittsburgh Steelers.  

Until we meet again, forever and always in our hearts OG.
