Born in Norwalk, CT on January 27, 1918, Gene had been a Milford resident since 1954 living in the Rivercliff area until 1995. All those who knew and loved Gene will remember him as a determined, strong willed man and, through every living moment, he showed his tenacity and love of life. Though he lost his sight nearly 30 years ago Gene always called things as he “saw” them and his candor and passion for life endeared him to all those with whom he came in contact .
