"Gene was the kind of person you wanted to get to know. You loved him instantly. He had that power, charm, charisma...I tend to think that was the most spiritual part of him, that part that people responded to most instinctively. Gene was also a guy that struggled with his faith, who had dark things in his life - like we all do - but who lived his life authentically. He truly was an artist, and he truly managed to make divine, holy things out of the darkness of his life."
