His extensive knowledge made him a respected figure in the industry, and his enthusiasm for his work was infectious. Gene's journey through life was marked by his intelligent, adventurous, and spirited nature-a legacy that he leaves behind for all who knew him.
Gene's early life in Batavia was just the beginning of an expansive journey that would take him to Texas and around the globe. He settled on a small farm in Hallsville, Texas in 1971 where he raised his kids and cows.
