He enjoyed his Peterbilt trucks just as much as talking on his CB radio with other truckers. Gene had a kind and loving heart. He was always trying to put a smile on anyone’s face. Whether joking or serious, he always found the way into the hearts of all who surrounded him. Gene is predeceased by his Mother Margaret Mick and Father Dominic Russo and brother Larry Cross. Gene is survived by his Fiancé Lori Carlson, Daughter Nicole Sherwood, Son Michael Sherwood, Daughter-In-Law Miriam Gross and Granddaughter Mia Gross, as well as nieces, nephews and close friends.
