It took Aunt Wanda's passing for me to see this in the Hamlin Hilbis funeral home web site that Terri Harkleroad sent. I'l Always remember when I was a snot nosed kid of about 10 when Gene came over to the Starky House to date Lucille. He gave me a dime to leave and go get an ice cream so he and Lucille could be alone in the Jalicy Room!!! Couldn't figure out back then as it was dark and I wasn't aloud to go to the store by the Old Eustis Dream Boat (Beer Joint). I remember still bugging them when they wanted to be alone. I was a brat! Gene was such a Good Man, Person. Don't ever remember hearing of an angry word from him. Growing up, it was the talk in the house that Lucille and Gene never had an arguement yet!! and that was years we talked about that.He let me mop his Bakery once a week when I attended Lake Sumpter JC for extra money. Paid me too much too. He was a Great Farther and Husband. Still can't believe that he is gone- Hopefully see you up there, Gene. Tears still come to my eyes as I write this. 3-5-'010##imported-begin##Tony##imported-end##
