To Gene
You taught me how to ride a bike,
and helped teach me how to drive.
You showed me how to throw a punch,
to help me to survive.
Tho' hours away,
you'd come to my rescue,
no matter the burden it put on you.
My brother, my friend,
and many times a companion
through thick and thin.
You'll be in my heart,
and in my mind.
We are not forever apart,
only until Heaven,
which I too, shall find.
Gene, you’re my big brother. I’ve always looked up to you. We’ve both had our differences growing up, we’ve both laughed at the silly and stupid things we’ve done.
You seemed to have the talent and taken after Dad and could fix just about anything.
I loved being able to call you and tell you what car issues I was having and you could pretty much fix it for me over the phone.
You helped me get my first job out of high school the goldmine in Battle Mtn Nevada.
You liked to sneak my mustang out and race it when I was at work.
Good old days in Nevada. We both did a lot of crazy things back then. We both had a lot of cool cars throughout the years. I loved being able to walk down memory lane during our phone calls. They always seemed to gravitate towards talking about cars or trucks and horsepower.
During my divorce you were always there for me. I always felt better after talking with my big brother.
There are truly so many wonderful memories I could share.
You’re now in Heaven with Dad and catching up on all the stuff over the years.
Gene, you’re always going to be my big brother. I’m going to miss you greatly.
I love you Gene, I love you Big Brother.
Love, your little brother, Richard
