I AM SO SORRY TO HEAR ABOUT GENE. HE WAS A GOOD FRIEND TO ME WHEN I WAS AROUND 17 WORKING AT HOFHIEMERS WITH HIS BROTHER. MY THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS ARE WITH THE FAMILY AT THIS TIME.

Fuzzy and Jim, I'm truly saddened by the news of Eugene's death. I always considered him one of my best friends. Although we had not kept in touch over the years, I have many fond memories of our growing up together in Seven Oaks, going the Thomas Jefferson, Walter Reed, and Newport News High School.
I wish I could be there to pay my respects to ET and give you my condolences in person.
