I was one of Genes final WVU mens team members 1981-82 I’m very grateful for him recruiting me and for being able to establish some lifelong friends from that team. My deepest condolences to his family.

Shirley and the family of Gene, I was sad to see that Gene is no longer with us! I met Gene in 1988 and coached the competitive team from the day g-force opened till 1996. I was blessed for him to meet my daughter in 2018 as we returned to the gym for mommy and me classes. I am saddened that my son will not get to meet him! Gene was instrumental in raising the standards of competitive gymnastics in the state of WV. He also helped many gym owners open their own gymnastics facilities. Gene will be missed greatly! Shirley, my prayers are with you all. Lynnel
