Thoughts and prayers to friends and family of Gene. I worked with Gene at coca-cola many years ago in the service dept. He was a great person, hard worker, and always pulling jokes. He fit in perfectly in the dept. where everyone loved to joke around with each other. He was one of those people that you enjoyed coming to work every day with. Rest in peace Gene.
