He married Eleanor (Peggy) Frank in Somerset on January 17, 1987.
Gene had many memories of growing up during the Depression: farming with horses; shucking corn by hand and taking it in the Model-T with his Dad to Stockdale Mill to have it ground into feed; living on homemade bread and potato soup with rivels. He farmed from the age of 19; worked 23 winters at General Tire; drove 20 years for Yellow Freight. He spent 33 of his 39 years of retirement wintering in Florida or Texas. Throughout his life he always prioritized an August vacation with family, traveling to National Parks throughout the West. He was a member of the Somerset Woodlawn United Methodist Church.
