I remember the last time I saw Uncle Gene. CXarol and I and the kids were just leaving and he and another fellow were pretenting to be hitch hikers and rolling up their pant legs to show their hairy knees. We all laughed. I am sorry I missed the service. It all happenned so fast. He will be sadly missed but foundly remembered. My deepest sympathy. Polly
