I only met Gene once, but will forever remember him. His Showcase Lounge is one of my favorite bars in Alaska. My deepest sympathies to his family. Doug Vandegraft (author of A Guide to the Notorious Bars of Alaska).

GENE
You will be missed greatly. I will always remember you and your hospitality whenever I drove down to Seward to pick up Capt. Nikk. Hennessey. When ever I was there you always watched out for me, made sure I had a place to stay and always fed me and my 2 big dogs. Thank you for treating me like one of the family. Regards (Short round)
