Paul and I were so sorry to hear about Gene. When Paul told me he passed away Sunday morning, I immediately thought about his unwavering faith and his godly example I saw during our five years at PPBC. I enjoyed singing in the choir with him. I never doubted for a minute that he believed what he was singing. We are praying for you and your family.
