    Dear Anita, Jana and Alan, Your dad was such a wonderful man. He always had a ready smile for everyone and loved to laugh. I will always have fond memories of him through the years. It's wonderful to know that he's out of pain and resting peacefully with our Lord now. You are all in my prayers. Blessings, Elissa

    My sympathy to the family. Gene was a nice person. My cousin Billy Winchester and I wanted to come to the visitation and funeral but could not come due to previous commitments. I recall Gene's parents making trips to Tennessee and visiting with my parents, Glen & Mildred Winchester. As some of you know, my dad was paralyzed and uncle Joe and aunt Vida brought him his first TV on one of those trips. Gene was a good man and he came from a good family. Our thoughts and prayers for his family!

    I have warm memories of Uncle Gene, the farm, the horses, and the good food served up at his table. I vividly remember his smile and his laughter. My thoughts are with Anita, Jana, Alan and their families.

    I had the great pleasure of working with Gene at the Soil and Water Conservation District. It was my first "real" job and Gene taught me so much. He created a great example as a Board member and I will always remember his dedicated involvement and smiling face.

    As a child, Uncle Gene was an inspiration to me. I marveled how he was always on the go and never seemed to run out of energy. I loved the way he called me "Ronnie"-almost like a statement "stay busy and believe in yourself and life will be good". His love and encouragement will aways be a part of my life.

    Sorry to hear about the loss of Gene, a real friendly guy. Bob remembers the good times they had growing up with the monthly meals in their homes and at the Toliver place when he (Bob) lived in the BIG HOUSE many, many years ago. Our sympathy to all of the family. From a long time friend, Robert and Iona Toliver

    My sincere condolences to Anita, Jana Alan and family Although he never talked much about his beliefs, from pure observation I learned there is no land based profession quite so dependent upon God as farming. As such I am convinced his faith was strong. And I am sure right now those fields beyond our view are being worked by my very good friend “Farmer Mundy.” I hope to walk them again with him some day.

    To all my cousins, Anita, Jana and Alan, my heart goes out to you and your family. Uncle Gene was always larger than life and I always enjoyed listening to his stories. I think the one about Waldo and the pony was my favorite. You're in my thoughts and prayers, Cousin John

    My thoughts and prayers go out to all of you in remembering a wonderful man. My Dad, Ray King, will miss Gene as they were the best of friends for as long as I can remember. My first horseback ride was at your house! I once told Gene, as a little girl, that if anything ever happen to my Daddy, I wanted him to be my Daddy. Much love to you all. Respectfully, Renae King Estes
