He married Charlotte Lovering in 1977 and they made their home in Bainbridge where Gene worked as a terminal operator for Liquid Transfer. He was Baptist by faith. Gene was known as a family man doting over his grandchildren and enjoying every opportunity to gather, especially if it involved a fish fry.
He kept the phone lines hot. Those on the receiving end will miss those regular calls, his laughter and his sense of humor. Gene was orderly in his mannerisms even in his garden.
(His pepper plants were exactly spaced for optimal growth. ) He enjoyed fishing, country music and guns. If there was a gun magazine nearby, he took the time to check it out.

Atkinson; his children, Tina Sims and her husband, Frank, of Destin, FL, Shane Atkinson and his wife, Jessica, of Ft.
