Gene enlisted in the US Navy at age 17 and served in the Pacific during WW II on the destroyer USS Tucker, where he earned the nickname "Old Gunner". Returning to Buffalo after the war, Gene graduated from the University of Buffalo with a degree in Electrical Engineering. An avid skier, Gene was a founding member of Sitzmarker Ski Club in Colden, where he and his family enjoyed winter weekends. Gene spent over 40 years growing and managing the Raymond E. Kelley Company in Bowmansville, where he retired as President & CEO. Gene lived a full, active life to the end, and leaves a wonderful legacy. He and JoAnn spent many happy winters on Sanibel Island where they built a second close community of friends. He loved to travel, and with JoAnn visited many friends, children and grandchildren across the country in their motorhomes. Gene greeted everyone by name, always made time to talk and let folks know they were important to him. He will be deeply missed by all who had the blessing to have known him.
