Gene was always a hard worker and busy doing something productive. Recently he built a shop to work on his motorcycles. His cycle buddies would all gather over there and they would have a big time visiting and tinkering on bikes. Gene had a chopper and motorcycle that he enjoyed very much. Together he and Teresa had been to Sturgis several times. They loved to jump on the bike and just ride. Gene also loved to camp and go to the lake. However, the quality time he spent with his family and loved ones were his most treasured memories. He loved each and everyone of them.
