Sandy, I’m so sorry for the loss of Gene, he was a one of a kind for sure. Slip shot old buddy you will be definitely missed. Only the guys he worked with will understand this but one of my favorite memories of Slip was the way he told Chicken Bob stories, you would laugh until you hurt. Rest Peacefully old pal GBNF
