I was at wedding recently where several '71 Ags were gathered and I overheard one ask his classmate if he knew Gene Finney had just passed away. I never shook Gene Finney's hand, but I knew the man they were were talking about because for many years I've shared this forum, PMs, and emails with our fellow poster, SD_71.

https://www.victoriaadvocate.com/obituaries/gene-finney-iii/article_0d5c0af7-c0c1-5c2c-aebe-a8e5030c15f4.html

I searched to see if anyone had shared the news we'd lost another one, but didn't find anything. It looks like after almost 20 years of TexAgs - Gene last posted here. I wouldn't have called him an old man - but he sure would yell at a cloud if was required, and I mean that in the best of humor - because that's what many of our shared laughs centered around. It doesn't seem right to lose a long-timer without the proper sendoff.

On his Last Corps Trip...

Gene Finney III, SD_71

Didn't know Gene personally, but traded several emails a good while back when I was trying to set up a Houston OB meet up. He offered an invite over to his place if I was ever down Victoria way, but sadly never had the opportunity to take him up on the offer. Seemed like a genuinely good dude who I'm sure will be missed.

Peace be with you, Gene.

Thanks for sharing with us, CP90. I did a TexAgs search, as I didn't recall him mentioning being ill. Darned if I didn't find a reference, right on one of my threads, that I had forgotten.

You may recall I posted a time lapse of my barn construction, and he replied on it:

Impressive as always CanyonAg77! You my friend are so very talented in many ways. THANK YOU FOR SHARING ALL YOU DO! MUCH ENJOYED BY AN OLD MAN DOWN HERE IN SOUTH TEXAS FIGHTING BLADDER CANCER!
https://texags.com/forums/34/topics/3031202/2

I feel stupid for failing to respond and continue to inquire on his health. I also found a couple of threads this very year, where he answered "HERE" for fellow TexAgs denizens.

I guess you never know when it's your turn.

Oh that is crushing, we PM'ed quite a bit and exchanged several emails. What a wonderful man, I am very sad tonight. He was a long time poster on here and one I always enjoyed and now I regret not hearing about his illness and or reaching out to him in better times.

Very sad for me.
