Hi Pattye,
I'm so sorry at the passing of Gene. I had a chance to visit him in the hospital last week and found him to be a gracious and warm person. Please know that the folks of the Monroeville United Methodist Church will be praying for you and thanking God for Gene and his amazing music.

Hi Pattye,
I am so sorry to hear about Gene. We enjoyed him so much at the Detroit Jazz Fest and seeing both of you at Cliff Bells. I pray that you will be allright. I lost my musician husband too in June of 08 so I can really understand what toll this takes. I thank God for everyday he gave me with my beloved and that thought got me through. I hope you can do the same.

Dear Pattye,
No words can express the sadness I feel with Gene's passing. He was one of a kind and there will be none like him. We all were blessed to know him and to work with him. I want you to call me if there is anything I can do for you dear. I know there must be an outpouring of prayers and love for you during this time from people near and far. Please know I'm here to help you. God bless you both.
Love,
Michele Bensen

Dear Patty
I am so sad to hear of Genes Passing. He was the GREATEST organist I ever heard. Gene always was there to help in anything you needed from Car Repair to Music Instruction. What a loss!! I know he's playing for the Big man now In Heaven!

It was good seeing you at Morgans recently. I'll be back soon to enjoy one of the best Hammond B3 organ players in history. We are blessed to have you in Pittsburgh as a home town boy.

Gene,
Thanks for selling me the Leslie, it sounds great! You definitely have helped a young Hammond player achieve his sound. And the wear on it gives it great character! Hope to be able to make it to see you play tonight at the backstage bar.
