In Memory of Gene Moss

Posted on October 28, 2011 by

Gene MossYesterday I was notified that my good friend, mentor and associate, Gene Moss, passed away at the age of 71. For those of us who knew Gene we understand that we lost one of the very good ones. Gene was a gentle soul who was always willing to share with those who knew and those he had just met. His kind and giving nature made Gene a true treasure to everyone he touched; he will be greatly missed by all. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Pam and all of Gene’s family and friends.

Gene, you will be greatly missed by all your friends at Atlanta REIA.
