Other survivors include sister, Verdelle Gregory; niece, Susan Green, brother-in-law, Fred Holder and wife, Reba, all of Lake Jackson.


Gene enjoyed bird hunting (ducks, geese, dove and quail) and bay fishing. Retirement also offered the opportunity for extended RV vacation travel to places as far as Alaska and Nova Scotia.

The family wishes to thank Debra Honeycutt and the staff of A-Med Hospice for their compassionate care and support.
