Gene died Nov. 30, 2019.

Coming from Hotchkiss, Gene roomed with Duane Minard, Vince Lytle, Jim Hicks, John Ferguson, Richard Thatcher, and later Carl von Isenburg ’64 *65. He was a member of Tiger Inn.

After graduation he earned an MBA from Harvard. Gene married Judith Stamp in 1963. They had two children, Alison and Jos. He co-founded a design store in Michigan called Orthogonality (“at right angles”) offering Scandinavian furnishings.

After divorce in the early 1970s, Gene married Peg Howard in 1980. They became interested in a spiritual and personal transformation process known as Pathwork. Changing course, Gene earned a Ph.D. in clinical psychology from Union Institute. He and Peg co-founded Pathwork of the Great Lakes, and later of California. Often jointly, they practiced psychotherapy and led workshops internationally. Gene served as president of the International Pathwork Foundation.

During Peg’s last decade, Gene cared for her during her struggle with Parkinson’s until her death in 2012. Two years later, Gene met Judy Wilson; they married in 2019 and traveled throughout North America.

Gene will be missed by both family and friends, most importantly Judy, Gene’s daughter Alison, son Jos, stepdaughter Tracey, and their families. We extend our sympathy to all.
