My thoughts and prayers are with all of you
Im am so sorry for your family’s loss. I have So many wonderful memories of Gene, can’t pick just one. From my first ski trip to my first house inspection… Rest In Peace Gene.
So sorry for your loss. I remember Gene from the Study Group that we had in Trafalgar, Indiana.
We had some good studies with all of the guys at that time and he was able to teach us a few
things also. My prayers are with you and the family.
Sending my love to the entire family❤️
Heartfelt Condolences to the Lunsford family. Gene offered tremendous help & advice during my real estate career. He was a top-notch Indianapolis home inspector. I particularly enjoyed his thoughtful recommendations while lighting up his pipe after inspection was completed. Remembering Gene in My Prayers!
