Gene, my beloved half brother....May your soul rest in peace with God. As a boy and as a teenager and as a man, I can recall seeing you several times....I admired you and you were an inspiration to me when I decided to enlist in the Army. It was an honor to having known you and I salute you and I look forward to seeing you in heaven someday.
