So very sorry to hear of Genes passing. My late husband, John Stowell, worked with Gene for many years at Jayhawk Glass. While I only had the opportunity to meet Gene a couple of times, my husband enjoyed his years working with Gene but most of all, he had a lot of respect and admiration for Genes skills as a glazier. He often told me that Gene had been his mentor and had taught him everything he knew about glasswork. Gene is the reason why my husband opened his own glass business which we later closed because of Johns own health issues. If John we’re still living, I know that he would have wanted me to express his deepest sympathies to the family and to let the family know that Gene was directly responsible for nurturing his own career as a glazier. With heartfelt sympathy. Sincerely, Carol Stowell
