Its been over 4 years. I still think of him often. I worked with Gene at his last job and became good friends. He was a very admirable man. You can tell this that after all this time I still think of him often. At the time I am writing this I was the 2,554 viewer of this page so I am sure others have too. I know he loved his family immensely. Talked of them often and I told him of mine. There isn't a St Pattys day that goes by that I don't think of him. One of the stories he told was of the good times he had on St Pattys day. He taught me this lymric and I will never forget it.


There are ships made of wood
There are ships made of steel
These are the ships that sail the seas
But the best ships
Are friendships
And may they ever be.

This wonderous piece of architecture (in the backdrop) was designed and built by Geno. After his death and at the request of his family it was dismantled and rebuilt in another location (by these loyal subjects) to honor and live on in Trig-Man history. In accordance of course with all of Gene's design and builds this particular piece is rated: catagory 5 hurricane wind tolerant.

I know geno as a brother he is my cousin  we stayed overnight at the altedeana (or how ever it is spelled)  home many times and he stayed at mine every chance we could. after family getogethers I grew up with geno he was my age and he was my mothers brothers oldest son I was the old est and my cuz bernie was uncle bernie"s oldest. The time we shared would take 3 books to try to complete. I love Geno. I remember so much of us growning up with a love of the outdoors inflicted on us by our grandmother Lucille and her cottage these memories I treasue and remember vividily. we spent so much time as kids and yound adults my cousins know I just have to say Sand pit. and they know. Clarks, Neallys pub, riding motor cross where the Silverdome is. Red run park  Bon fires at the lake willow trees Family    Family  Close Love  He is some body that always made yoe feel important I am crying. I fished and hunted with him. Some how as all would feel you were the the most important to him because I did every time I was around. I am almost sorry that I moved away because I did not stay close to him yet every time we met it was like we never were apart and I dot feel that way now.
