Gene had a personality that was larger than life itself and many were drawn to his humor, kindness and warm-hearted nature. He always had a story to tell and could easily strike up a conversation with anyone. He enjoyed golfing, deep-sea fishing, history, politics, reading, going to the casinos, traveling with his wife, Natalie, and spending time with his family.
