Gene died of cancer on Nov. 9, 1999, in his Vero Beach home. He was 78.

Gene was a graduate of the Adirondack School. As an undergraduate at Princeton, he was a member of Campus Club. Following an accelerated graduation in 1943, Gene joined the US Navy, subsequently serving in both the North Atlantic and South Pacific theaters. Following his discharge from the Navy, he received an MBA from Harvard business school.

Gene became a restaurateur of note in the Rochester, N.Y., area, acting as pres. of the corporation that operated the Royal Scot and Merrie Scot restaurants. He was a member of the Genesee Valley Club of Rochester.

After he retired to Vero Beach in 1987, Gene joined the Sea Oaks Beach and Tennis Club, and patrolled the Indian River as an auxiliary coast guardsman.

He is survived by his wife of 52 years, Susan, son, Dr. Robert Wetmore '70, daughter Nancy Drew, brother Robert, and three grandchildren. To the entire family, we offer our deepest sympathies.
