Ms Beverly,
We are very sorry to hear about Gene's passing. I understand that he was here at SPAWAR several weeks ago. This was a surprise to many of us. Please know that our prayers are with you and your family.

To Gene's Family,
I worked with Gene at the Shipyard and later at SPAWAR. Also, danced with him in the same square dance club in the early 1980's. He was a good man, and I offer my sincere sympathy to each of you at this time.
Sincerely,
Joyce Hatcher Eckhardt Brogdon
