When Gene came to Benteler I asked him if he was sure this is what he wanted to do. He said give him a chance and he will do his best. From day one I had no regrets. Gene was quiet amd a quick study. Showed up ready to go daily the type of team member you hope to get. I hope he knew how much we appreciated him. I wish I knew him better. Rest in Peace.
