My favorite memories with Gene would have to be the bus rides. He was the finest bus driver! He was always teasing me and calling me Rita Marino and had me doing my hair just like her. He would get such a chuckle out of it. I can't believe that was at least 10 years when I can remember it like it was yesterday. When Gene and Carol would come over to my grandparents, it would just make their day. He will always hold a special place in my heart. I love you Gene :)
