Well, the most talented and funniest man you've ever met, or didn't meet, just went to Heaven to make people laugh and up the BBQ game up there. Gene Leslie Riehs, born in La Grange, Texas on December 28, 1939, to his father, Aug Read Obituary
Gene and I met at Texas Instruments in late 1966. We both worked the night shift. The following summer Gene decided to buy a boat, not just any boat, but a superfast racing boat that we thought would serve us well as a ski boat. Since we both worked nights, we spent our days during the summer on the lake skiing. There are countless stories about our skiing adventures, far too many to go into here. Needless to say, it was one of the most memorable times of my life with a true friend.
When Bridget and I got married, Gene and Alice were in attendance. We all became good friends and stayed in contact throughout the years.
Gene, with his ever-present smile and easy-going attitude will be truly missed.
So long good friend.
Gordon & Bridget Trosper
