My Dad, as I reflect...oh the memories! We played softball together, worked together, fished together. I know there were many good and not so perfect times, but my mind goes to all of the good times...so many across a lifetime. Will miss you pops!

I greatly enjoyed my time working with Gene in the Land Surveying business. He was great at what he did, could out-work us young guys (by far), and kept us laughing. Great memories here, and our sincere condolences to the family. Jeff & Leah Guess
