Jennifer Niebrugge wrote a sympathy message

“I am a parent at Forest Creek Elementary. My 3 boys and I walked to school almost every day. We adored Mr. Gene. It was the highlight of my 4yr old son’s day to be able to hug Mr. Gene (always in the middle of the crosswalk) and give him a dandelion. We loved seeing him every morning and afternoon. He always took time to smile and ask each of my boys by name how their day was going. He will be so deeply missed. We are so sorry for your loss and are praying for your family.”
