While serving in the U.S. Army at Fort Riley, he met Jean Dobson. They were married on March 31, 1979, in Manhattan. After his honorable discharge from the Army, he started his 40-year career at Parker Hanafin.

Gene was a very active and involved father with his three children. From coaching softball, being a livestock leader in 4-H and supporting any wild and crazy ideas his kids came up with.

He enjoyed life but not as much as he loved being a grandfather to his ten wonderful grandchildren.
