Seeing that picture of Gene holding the 5+/- lb bass just makes me even sadder. Gene and I fished together often. I remember going on the fly-in trip to Ontario, Canada. There is a 8+/- lb Walleye on the wall of his room in Sandy and Gene's Culpeper house from that trip. Gene and I hunted and also shot many rounds of skeet together at the Izaak Walton gun club when we both lived and worked in the Richmond area. We continued the fishing and shooting after both of us were gone from Richmond. We hunted geese together when he and Sandy lived in Maryland. I went fishing yesterday where I live on Smith Mountain Lake and thought of Gene. The same when I go to my local gun club in Gretna, VA. We had many good times and those good times extended to visits with Sandy and Gene and my wife Dale at each others homes. I just wish I could have worried him to get colon cancer screenings. I have had two such screenings and the process is no fun, but the benefits can be great. God speed Gene
