It is so hard to accept and digest the fact that we are disappearing one by one by one. Good bye Gene. If there is another place, maybe we will all meet there. But, too be honest , I doubt it. I don't know if there is an afterlife, but I do believe that if we take care of this one, the other one will take care of itself.

Gene and I grew up three houses apart in Golf Manor. He was a great friend for many years and we enjoyed many good times together. My heart goes out to Kathy and family. I will miss him.

Found a picture from a little reunion that Gene organized in High Hampton, NC and thought it was a way of expressing a tribute to our loss of a 1959 Classmate...........Gene Magnarini. It was a great trip and rendezvous that he corodinated.
"Gene thanks for the Memory"
