several grandchildren and great grandchildren and was stepfather to Linda Vogel and Gloria Ary.
Gene was in the United States Navy for four years, in the Korean war, faithfully serving his country. After his years in the Navy, he had worked as a janitor at various jobs and he also worked as a cook
on the oil platforms for several years, right off the coast of Ventura, California. He was also a
faithful member of the Church of Christ in Santa Paula, California and enjoyed
fellow-shipping with his brothers and sisters in Christ. He was a member of the Santa Paula Lions

he enjoyed just spending time with his family and his friends. He enjoyed keeping busy.
Gene joined his Heavenly Father on January 17, 2021, and is greatly missed, but we know that
one day, we too shall join him and what a joyful reunion that will be!!
