Gene was a very knowledgeable man and he passed on his wisdom to his children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren. He had keen interests in classic cars, sports (especially football), and following the stock market and all things financial. If he wasn't spending time with family or invested in one of his many interests, he could be found playing his favorite slot machine.
