August 8, 2025

Gene and Betty were neighbors and very special friends in Tigard, Oregon for over 16 years. After Betty's death, Sandy and I still kept in touch with Gene and (Nadine) by phone and by visiting them in Homedale many times over the years. This is August 6th, 2025 and we were in process, for the last several days, of telephoning Gene to arrange for us to go and visit him again. We had been unable to connect with him, even after leaving several massages on his cell phone; now we know why. We are heartbroken that he has passed away.
