He encouraged all to "have a Coke and a smile."

 Gene was married to Linda for 59 years after a blind date set up by friends. They had three daughters, Gina, Shelly, and Anna. Gene and Linda lived in her hometown of Brock for most of their marriage, where they were surrounded by family and friends on any given day. Gene was a member of Brock Methodist Church for 60 years.
