    Gene, Gene, Gene………. I work for Marshall Co REMC, and Gene was Building inspector then…..Oh my….he was a hoot. I so looked forward when he waltzed in with the latest inspection release. You could always look forward to some kind of story or joke when he came in. Always talked so highly of his wife Winnie. What a character he was, he will never be forgotten 🙂 Thoughts and prayers with his family.

    I was a long-time Alter Guild partner with Winnie at St. Thomas Episcopal Church. We often shared family stories and she always spoke so lovingly of her husband, Gene. I did not know Gene; however, my husband worked with him numerous occasions while my husband was an electrician and Gene was the Marshall County Building Inspector. My husband thought highly of Gene. May they both rest in the loving peace of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ.
