We knew Gene for a number of years at the Light of the World Prayer Center. In fact, he attended our early morning prayer meeting faithfully. He became our friend and installed our wheelchair ramp and a screen door at our home. He always made himself availble to help us in whatever way he could. When I was in the hospital and nursing home, he came often to visit me. Gene had a servant’s heart, was friendly to everone (including strangers) and could be counted on to do what he said he would do. Though we hadn’t talked to him in nearly a year, he remained in our thoughts and prayers. We will miss him
