Ronald Burriss wrote a sympathy message

“There has been a rip in the cosmic fabric. Heaven is now a better place. Our hearts are heavy for those who must go on without Gene. I feel like I have known him but for a minute, however that feeling is eternal. Life seems long until you lose a person who gives you the good minutes that makes the rest of the minutes bearable. That is who Gene was to me. Inspirational. The Burriss Family offer our condolences. When you hurt, we hurt. Keith, Gary (Cathy, Daniel (Anna), Nathan) & Ron”
