He was born March 11, 1945, in Egeria, West Virginia, to parents John Riley Mills and Nancy Margaret Mills. Gene retired from RJR Filmco/Berry Plastics in Aurora after working there for over 50 years. He proudly served his country as a member of the US Army.
Gene was a big Cleveland sports fan, rooting for the Indians and the Browns. He also like being outdoors, especially wrenching on his cars. Most of all, he loved his pets and spending time with his family.
Gene is survived by his daughter Tina Allen, his grandchildren: Devin Allen and Regan Allen Jr., his siblings: Eileen Mills, Iyle Dean (Tic) Mills, Arden Mills, and Robert Mills, along with many loving nieces and nephews.
Gene was preceded in death by his parents, his son-in-law Regan Allen, and his siblings: Earl Mills, Doyle Mills, Curtis Mills, Paul Mills, Irene Meadows, Edgar Mills, and Darlene Mills.
His wishes for cremation are being honored. Gene will be laid to rest at the family cemetery near Egeria, with a Celebration of Life service to be held on a later date.
Gene’s family would like to thank the staff of Western Reserve Hospice for the care given to him. Condolences and fond memories may be shared at www.wood-kortright-borkoski.com
