Born November 11, 1929. Died January 20, 2012 at the age of 82.
Gene has gone to be with the Lord, whom he loves. Gene is survived by his loving wife Linda of 50 years and his daughter Pauline
We ache with sadness at the loss of Gene but celebrate his freedom in heaven. We love him and cannot eloquently describe such a great man who blessed our family and gave tirelessly to the communities he lived in. Gene lived in Gibsons and taught at Elphinstone from 1958 to 1972 where he met and married his bride Linda (Grigg).
Memorial Service will be held in Kelowna Friday, January 27, 2012 at 4pm.
