It is with such sadness that I write this condolence note today. Having spent a lot of time with Gene as we worked together opening a new ASC in Virginia Beach, he was like a family member. We shared an office, took physicians to dinner and worked long hours together getting the ASC on track. Gene was even known to bring his rowing machine to the ASC so he wouldn't miss a work out! Gene was not only a highly competent, compassionate physician but also geniuinely kindhearted man. Gene was truly one-of-a kind. I have so many fond memories and I know many others do as well. Gene really touched lives everywhere he went. I know Gene will be missed by so many. My heartfelt sympathy goes out to all of his family and friends.
With deepest sympathy,
Karole Burris

I had the great fortune to work with Gene at Virginia Beach. He was such a wonderful guy. Would always stay late to close the surgery center so I could go home to my family. He was genuinely concerned about the welfare of others. I always thought it amazing that a single guy was so good with my young kids. We joked about them calling him "Uncle Gene". I can still remember the day I came into the center and called him "boss", and he replied "Dude, I don't wanta be the boss, I want to be THE KING!" From then on I called him "Sire", and would sign my emails "YHAFS" (Your Humble And Faithful Servant). He was a special person and I can only hope that knowing he touched so many people's lives will provide some solace in this terrible time.
Rest In Peace, Sire!

To Molly and to Gene’s family-
I sm so truly saddened at losing Gene. He was a wonderful client and a friend. He was one of the kindest people I’ve ever met. I’ve worked with him on 2 houses, and recently this year as well again with him and Molly. He so wanted some changes and to do some things she wanted. That he lost the will to go on when there was so much light and promise at the end of all this is so sad. I’m in italy, but my thoughts are and will be with you and his friends on Friday. I will always thank Jamie Doyle not only for his and then Sloan’s friendship but for introducing me to Gene, who introduced me to Steve and Brittany Clyne, and so on. Much love to you all.

Gene was a wonderful man. I knew him through his close friendship with Jamie Doyle and Sloan, my daughter. I always enjoyed seeing him and know how beloved he was by Jamie and Sloan. He was a dedicated doc, and the obituary truly describes his care for his patients and career. I am so sorry for your loss, and pray that you can find solace.

It saddened me greatly to learn the loss of Gene, our closest neighbors and one of my best friends growing up in junior high and high school. We often enjoyed the Tom's hospitality at The Oriental and Hong Kong East. Many years after we last saw one another my parents were surprised to find him scrubbing in as an anesthesiologist for my father. I'm disappointed that in my many visits to my mother's we never seemed to cross paths. You will be sorely missed. Set up another epic Risk game, I'll meet you there someday. Clark

The world has lost a wonderful clinician, a loved man and a respected colleague. Gene was especially admired by the patients he cared for, the OR staff he worked with, the CRNAs and his colleagues in SAC. I met Gene when I joined SAC back in 2001 and we immediately formed a bond. Back then I was the Chief at Lincolnton for SAC. Now I am the Chief Medical Officer for Anesthesiology and Adult Critical Care for MEDNAX. I can say with authority that Gene's passing has shaken the MEDNAX and SAC organizations to our core. In all of our live's, Gene's padding leaves a permanent hole.

I will always remember Gene’s gentle soul.. He was an excellent doctor and really showed his patients humanity, kindness and true care. I am so sorry that someone who was so skilled at relieving pain for others was suffering his own pain. Heartfelt prayers for Molly Skipper, Gene’s brother and all the friends that were close to Gene in his personal life.
