Gene grew up in Northport, Alabama . He graduated from Tuscaloosa County High School , class of 1959. He was very athletic and played all sports. Later he became a barber and owned Gene’s Barber Shop in Tuscaloosa. There he became friends with many people and enjoyed talking about anything, especially sports. Gene enjoyed traveling, fishing, playing ping pong, working in the yard and sports. Most of all he enjoyed spending time with his family and friends. He enjoyed watching his grandson, Collin, playing in all his different sports and tried his best to never miss a game. Watching Collin grow up brought Gene lots of joy. Gene will be missed dearly, but we know we will be with him again.

Honorary pallbearers are Lakewood Subdivision friends, members of Five Points Baptist Church, and Gene’s PARA Ping-Pong buddies.
