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.

Our staff will continue to keep your family in our prayers. We thank you for allowing us to serve your family.
