So sad to lose this wonderful man. Remember all the late-evening card games, the times golfing with my folks and Uncle Gene, his understated wit and wink of the eye, but always in good fun. Wish we’d been able to spend more time together these past several years. Our love and prayers to the entire Webster family at this time. Wish we could make it out to the funeral service, but we will be there in spirit! George, Liz, Annachristi & Noah Cordes
I’m so sorry. Seeing Uncle Gene’s picture brings back so many warm memories. Many of them took place on Grandma and Grandpa Webster’s front lawn. He was always so much fun. My clearest memory was of Dad and Uncle Gene, with sleeves rolled up, playing horseshoes for hours on any hot Sunday afternoon. Sometimes, they followed up with a trip to the bowling alley. His quick, teasing comebacks and observations really livened things up. I am proud that this good man was my Uncle. I wish I could come up there, but a temporary health situation prohibits. I, too, will be there in spirit. Prayers and Hugs to everyone.
We are so very sorry! You are in our thoughts and prayers.
Our thoughts and sympathies are with all of you at this time. And especially Aunt Nancy. We will all remember Uncle Gene will great love and affection. He was always my kids’ favorite to visit and so much fun. I’ll never forget playing cards with that wonderful, humorous, and generous man. He always seemed to be in a good mood and nothing ever seemed to get him down. An outstanding example for us all. We will miss him and never forget him.
With much love,
The Anderson/Sanger family – Cindy, Warren, Max, Lily, and Everett
