Gene graduated from Baldwin High School in 1964 and went on to become a skilled carpenter and millwright. He worked all over the US in power plants for Westinghouse. Upon retirement, he and wife of 54 years, Marlane Lombardi (Stroup), moved to Sarasota, FL to enjoy the beach and boating life they always dreamed.
Gene is survived by his wife, Marlane; his brothers, Pat and Larry Lombardi of Pittsburgh, PA; his children, Christopher Lombardi (Kris) of Frankfort, KY and Tara Rooney (Thomas); his grandchildren, Tommy, Sean and Seamus Rooney of Tequesta, Florida. Gene is also survived by many nieces, nephews and extended family in Pittsburgh and Florida.
Friends and family will be welcomed on Saturday August 10, 2024 from 3:00 pm to 4:30 pm at Aycock-Riverside Funeral and Cremation Center, 1112 Military Trail, Jupiter, FL 33458.

Alzheimers was a charity near and dear to his heart as both his father and wife battled the disease.
