  1. I love you dad. I wish we could have spent more time together. Rest in piece. Tell mom and Sally hi for me! Sandee

  2. Sandy and I will miss Gene,whom we met a few years ago while bowling. He was always enjoyable to talk with. He will be missed.

  3. You will be extremely missed. Sean and I are thankful for your attendance at all our life changing events. Give Sally a gigantic hug for me. We love you both so much!!!

  4. Gene and I bowled on the same team. He truly enjoyed bowling. He told me that he wanted to bowl a 600 series. He said that if his wife was still here she would push him until he got his 600 series. It was not that long ago that Gene did bowl his 600 series. He will be missed.

  5. We always think we have more time than we do. I will miss you Dad but I know you are happy to be with Sally again. Denise

  6. Words seem inadequate to express the sadness we know you must be feeling about your father’s passing. All our love, Christine and Bill Robson
