Barbara, Ed & family, My sincere condolences & sympathies to you all and you are all in my prayers at this sad time. Your friend, Joe Macowski
Ed and Barbara, I am so sorry for the loss of Barbara’s father. You’re in my thoughts. I remember numerous conversations with Mr. Cenitch, and especially ones about golf. His eyes would light up remembering specific shot’s he made as we talked about a local golf course we both played, and how he loved the game. He was loved by all.
Dear Barbara, Ed, and the Cenitch family, We wish to express our condolences to all of you. May you always hold precious memories of him close, and remember his loving and caring spirit. With our love, thoughts, prayers and sympathy,
Thinking of your family at this time. Gene was a special part of the fabric of Madison High School, and it was a privilege and honor to work with him. God’s peace be with you.
Dear Aunt Barbara and family, You have our deepest sympathy and are in our prayers. Uncle Gene is a wonderful man and to whom my brothers and I always looked up and admired greatly. I remember U’Gene teaching us how to hold a golf club and the many times he took us swimming at Chapman’s lake. We loved him and will miss him. God Bless you and family. Joe Lesnefsky
