Kindness is the word that comes to mind when I think of uncle Gene. I can hear his laugh and see his smile, head tipped to one side. He did indeed love to fish and my memories bring me joy.
Kathy Honaker left a message on October 11, 2016:
Gene Harper was the BEST. I had the pleasure and honor of calling him my friend. He was a man of the highest integrity and caring. He loved and served his country proudly. He was a great Allstate leader who cared so much for the people he worked with. Thanks for all the great times Gene-o as I called him. You will be missed forever. Love to Pam and the family.
