Gene spent his early years in Carnegie, Pa. He graduated from Youngstown State University in Youngstown, Ohio, with a degree in mechanical engineering. Upon graduating, he joined the Deming Corporation in Salem, Ohio. He later joined Gast Manufacturing in Benton Harbor, Mich. When he retired 26 years ago, he held the position of chief engineer and head of the engineering department of that company.

He could fix anything his family managed to break. Gene loved golf, woodworking, gardening and fishing with his grandchildren. He was a lifelong Presbyterian and attended Greenwood Forest Baptist Church in Cary until his health failed.

The family wishes to thank the staff at Rex Nursing Care of Apex for their loving, professional care. The family is also thankful for his long, well-lived life. We will miss him.
