To My Dear Friend Gene, Thank you for always being such a wonderful friend for over 40 years. I am so saddened to hear of this tragic news this evening. I called tonight to see how your Christmas was with your wife Antoinette and sons Steven and Christopher and she told me of this horrible time. You always invited me to your home in Old Bridge and Manalapan to your family celebrations and I will remember those times with you and your family always. You have lived a life of kindness, grace, dignity and gentle compassion for those around you and you care so deeply for your family and friends. Thank you Gene for your invitation to visit you and Toni in your new home in Florida and I've been looking forward to making the trip. I'll never forget the friendship you and Toni offered to me and I hope you will always be at peace in the Kingdom of Heaven. May God Bless you always Gene and may you always Rest In Peace. Your Friend, Steven Felice
