Welp, I was 99% sure when I saw that leaving forever post that it was going to lead to this. I thought maybe he was going into hospice or something. Didn't figure he was already gone. He'll be missed.
He could drive you nuts if you were arguing with him...I think he was mostly sincere, but he definitely had about 15% troll in him just to irritate us on the smarter side of things.
But worst of all, he was almost always civil, and you just couldn't let loose with a satisfying "you moronic fuckface" when he didn't operate that way.:-)

Gene was a great guy that I never met. We spent many years discussing family in PM's and he helped me with kind words through a dark time. As he deteriorated he could only type with one hand. He had a long hard battle but never lost his spirit.
