Dad gave me a great foundation of knowledge on how to build and to build right the first time. That was a huge help for me in becoming an architect. I use that knowledge and wisdom he taught me on a daily basis.
Dear Millie,
Dear Millie,
So, sorry to read about Gene’s Death in today’s Paper
My condolences to you and your family.
I’m spending Thanksgiving Week at my daughter’s House in Colorado
Thinking of you , Sincerely
Edith Siegler
Our deepest condolences. Uncle Gene will be missed. We have great memories of many an Easter egg hunt in Gretna. Thank you for inviting us all of those years. Truly great times with cousins. 🙏🏻May he Rest In Peace.🙏🏻
Our sincere sympathy to all those family members at your loss of such a special: Husband, Father, relative, friend … Gene was a nice man, married to a nice lady and has a good family. We mourn with you.
Gene liked to shop … Gary and I and some of his family members went to the Mesa Market a few years back and Gene loved that adventure … he was a man with many talents … shopping being one of them. Rest in Peace … we’ll see you again one day.
Uncle Gene will be missed by all. He was such a wonderful husband, father, grandfather and uncle. His talents and gifts have been passed along to all he interacted with. Deepest Sympathy — Jennifer and Jerrell Coggburn
I moved to Gretna across the road from the Kros family in 1987. One day my husband was outside fixing up a shed when a truck pulled in and an official looking guy marched up to him and asked,
“Do you have a permit for that?”
Husband was sputtering some excuse when Gene introduced himself as not an inspector. We knew then we had a neighbor we’d like.
Gene,and Millie, were such good neighbors that when they moved to Weston we soon followed and took our place across the road again: neighbors once more.
Gene and Don made our house what it is from the old framework out.
We are sorely going to miss seeing Gene outside tending to things.
I will never forget a quote from Gene which I often use. He came over one day and I, in passing, asked how he was. He answered with the typical ” Fine” but then looked around suspiciously and added “as far as I know.”
That still cracks me up.
He is unforgettable.
