Until my retirement in 2011 I served as an attorney in the Office of the United States Trustee in Chicago, Illinois. In that role I had the good luck to work with Gene, who for many years served on the panel of private trustees appointed and supervised by that office. Gene was a fine trustee and a wonderful human being with a great sense of humor. The world is a better place for his having been here. I will miss him and send my condolences. May he rest in peace.

For well over 20 years Gene brought his legal expertise and caring by volunteering to advance the efforts of our membership of Chicago's low-income workers -- he volunteered on individual consultations, conducted "Know your law" sessions, contributed articles of interest to our membership on legal subjects of concern in our newspaper, and shared the lessons he learned from his own efforts and those who'd gone before him. And he did so with a keen wit, compassion and humor. We are honored to have known him, and extend our condolences to Gene's family.
