My Uncle Gene¹

I am Gene's niece Kerry again. I needed to say more about Gene. I know he loved to paint. And he was so proud of his paintings. He did one of a war plane for my son Brian. He just loved it. He painted a sunset for me. And many for my mom. Which I have now. He had a stroke yrs back and it affected his right hand. But he was so determined he was able to find his strength to paint. He was so happy when he sold them all at the art shows. He would send me and my mom the daily bread. He put lilies on Easter and poinsettias at Christmas for his mother and Janice, my mom and Aunt Margie. He was a thoughtful man. I love and miss him. RIP🙏 Sent from my Sprint Samsung Galaxy S9.

My Uncle Gene

I am missing Uncle Gene. I am Kerry his sister Janice's daughter. My mom was the middle sibling. She past away 2016 Dec. 91yrs. I would talk to my uncle on the phone. Send him cards on Holidays and just because also. He was a great very respected man. He loved his friends and family and he loved God and the church. I remember when I was little and he would visit us. He was so funny making us laugh. He had a quick wit. A great since of humor. He could make anyone smile. We would love to hear about his days in the military. Last time he was here tell his experiences during the war. He was very interesting. He race drag boats.  Love cars and really lived a full life. He love his family and friends. And he really loved his church and God. I always sent him religious calendars at Christmas. I am so proud he was my Uncle. And now he is with God and his sisters. I will miss our talks. Blessings to all who knew him. Kerry Skieff ❤❤❤🙏

In Memory of Gene Goodin

Dear Pastor Chris,  With Pastor Patrick and Pastor Quinn on Sabbatical and all of us away from the church, we wanted to reach out to you and the congregation of PBPC. We send our deepest sympathy and heartfelt gratitude to God for the amazing life of Gene Goodin. He was loved and he will be missed.  We were in touch with Carol after we heard the news of Gene's passing from Colleen and Jerry Cambra. Carol shared the video of the Memorial Service. Thanks to Park Boulevard Presbyterian Church members and staff for putting together a lovely space to honor and remember Gene. You gracefully handled the technology in order to bring folks together to remember a dear man. We enjoyed watching and hearing the stories of Gene's remarkable life. We were not aware that he was an artist! We pray for your congregation as it is a huge loss.  Prayers for all of you in the difficult season of pandemic, separation, pain, and loss. Blessings,  Katie Garrett for the Christ Church Pastors ...
