He brought music alive to those from all walks of lifefrom a former U.S. President and former Illinois Governor, to his most precious audience- his grandchildren and great grandchildren. Everyone who was blessed to know him, loved him. He was a snappy dresser and loved a good McDonald's vanilla milkshake. Gene lived to serve his family. One of his greatest joys was cheering on his kids and grandkids at their many sporting events and extra curricular activities throughout their school years. During his retirement he enjoyed golfing with his wife and family and vacationing with them in Siesta Key, Florida and Lake Geneva, Wisconsin. He was chauffeur extraordinaire for his grandkids and many of their friends, neighbors and classmates. He was quietly faithful to his Lord, living life with a servant's heart-always generous to those in need, rooting for the underdog, helping those who could not help themselves. Gene was a sensitive soul, would cry at commercials, movies and momentous life events. He was a member of The American Accordion Club, a popular employee at The Chicago Board of Trade and a longtime member of Christ Church of Oak Brook. In his final act of generosity, his body will be donated to The Anatomical Society. A celebration of life will be held Friday May 20th at 10:30am at Palos Community Church 12312 S. 88th Ave. Palos Park, IL 60464. Memorial donations to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital would be appreciated.
