Enjoyed many pleasant times with Gene and Glo when I lived in Monroe. Rest gently, my friend.

He is my heart. I loved him so very much. We spent many, many hours dining, traveling across the US, just talking, gardening, working on the house and flower beds, so many years/decades. My sincere condolences to Marilyn, Jacob, and Brandy, to Lloyd and others who share love for Gene. I cannot express in words what Gene means to me, other than he is my heart. God bless. Love.

I remember Dr. Jones fondly as one of his students at Northeast in the late 1980s. Flow Charts were definitely huge with him! Rest in Peace, Dr. Jones.

He wasn't my father, but he was. He wasn't my teacher, but he was. He didn't teach me how to tie a tie or how to shave, but he taught me how to be a good person by setting a perfect example. He taught me far more about life than what can be learned in textbooks or shown in videos. I've known him my entire adult life. The world is emptier now without him. RIP, Gene. Love you.

This is the best friend I ever had. We have been partners the last 25 years and I don't regret any of it. He was also the finest human being I have ever known
Peace of mind is a call away. We're here when you need us most.

Words don't come easily. Gene was my heart. So many years, so many memories. Family. Trips, fun times, traveling the US, dinners, working together. There is not a degree level to describe how much I loved him. Gene will remain in my heart until my time comes. God bless. My condolences to his nieces and nephew.

Gene was one of the nicest men I had ever met. Lloyd went above and beyond taking care of Gene in his final years. He will be missed.
