In mid-August I was visiting in South Bend and Cheetah, Gene and I had lunch at one of his favorite restaurants: Ho Ping House. We were looking at the menu and Gene said: Gee, hmmm, I'd like to have the sweet and sour chicken but I'm already so sweet...! We had a delicious meal together with Gene telling about his working as a chef in the service and about how he met Cheetah. After lunch we drove to Niles and Gene and Cheetah showed me several of the places that had meaning for them. We had a great afternoon together and I feel so fortunate to have spent time with them. What a loss for Our Redeemer Lutheran Church, River Park and South Bend. I'm glad for my memories of this wonderful man. Barbara Schrop Taylor, Joanne Schrop Ash and Frederick James Schrop

My husband and I are so sorry for your loss. What an amazing man Gene was. He lives forever in my heart, and the hearts of all those he touched with his love, kindness, and especially humor.

I don't even remember how long ago I started with Gene doing my hair. Always joking and smiling. Lately when he'd pop in while Darcy was doing my hair, it was always a treat. Thinking of your whole family...
