He is survived by his nieces, Denise Flurry Lalonde and Tania Flurry Bowen; his nephew, Mark Flurry; and numerous great-nieces and nephews.

The family extends a special thank you to his neighbor, June Jenkins, and the compassionate staff Kay, Taylor and Kayla at The Haven for their care. Also, may thanks to the Executive Director, Jada Kamp. The entire staff treated him as family. The family is extremely thankful for Gentiva Hospice and all who cared for Gene during his final days.
