My sister and I spent alot of summers with Uncle Gene and Aunt Jean. Uncle Gene was always up for a pillow fight. I still remember his laugh when we would find him and unleash the pillows on him. He laughed with sheer joy. He took us to Six Flags and rode all of the rides with us. He showed us how to play golf and he was so patient and encouraging through all of the missed balls. He took us to Dairy King for ice cream cones. He was one of a kind. Much love to you Uncle Gene.
Gene was a special friend of mine. I met him nearly 40 years ago on the golf course. We had our friendly-game most Saturdays & Sundays. My sympathies to his family.
Dear family and friends of Gene, he and his wife, Jeanie were two of the finest people I have ever had the privilege to know. Dan Burgess was my golf instructor at Richland Golf & Country Club and introduced me to the Conns in the 80’s. Take comfort in knowing they are together again resting in the loving arms of our Lord and Savior beyond the Garden Gate…until we meet again dear ones.
Played many rounds of golf with Gene and we shared many war stories. We shared our experiences of our time in Vietnam. He was a good friend and he will be missed. Rest in peace Gene for you have paid life's dues. Paul Geddes, 1SG Ret
