Gene was more than my "boss". He was a mentor, a friend and someone I truly admired. He was a very important part of my life. I appreciate the way he took me and my girls under his wing when I was a single parent. He was a strong influence. He was caring and funny. I especially loved to hear his stories. Our time together at Chesapeake Controls was and always will be a special time for me. Gene is that person who changed my life, who made a difference, he believed in me and I will always be grateful. I came to love Gene like a father. He will be missed but never forgotten!
