Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your families especially during this very difficult time. God Bless. -- Nick & Rosemarie Mask

Geno was a great reporter and a unique man. He was a valued mentor for me when I joined the Kitchener-Waterloo Record in 1984 and at the heart of the newsroom for decades after that. He helped guide me on court reporting and offered important advice on sensitive stories. I enjoyed celebrating with him either at local pubs or his wonderful pool parties. I also admired his devotion to his family and his Roman Catholic faith. Rest in peace Geno. You will be missed.

Gene was such a warm and welcoming presence in The Record newsroom. In the first days after arriving at the paper in 1984 (my fifth paper), he knew I'd been leading a team of reporters at The Regina Leader-Post covering the Colin Thatcher murder case. He also knew I'd turned down a job at Canadian Press in Toronto to join The Record. He took me under his wing for a tour around town, introducing me to many judges and top lawyers in civil and criminal courts here. Everyone knew Gene and respected him for all of his great reporting. Those early acquaintances through Geno are still close friends. A tremendous loss. Our sincerest condolences to all of Gene's family and friends, Robin and Tom Nunn

Please accept our deepest condolences for your loss. My father and I enjoyed the honour of working with Eugene at The Record. He was a remarkable man. I helped Eugene with his book launch at the Walper Hotel - from behind the signing table we met many who were featured in the book! Eugene extended respect, a smile and his autograph to all.
We are so sorry for your loss.
With love
The Boland family

I had the pleasure of knowing Gene, Pat and the family (as they came along) starting in 1965, when Gene was a one-man Record bureau (and reporting dynamo) for the Record in Guelph and I was a cub reporter at the Guelph Mercury.
Gene was a fair, thorough and competitive newsman, who kept the entire Mercury reporting staff on its toes with his ability to outhustle and outreport anyone who wasn't as tireless and dedicated as he was -- and very often those who were.
He could always be counted on to get in, get the story, report it fairly and thoroughly, and all in a flash. As Bob Hoops, another of his Record colleagues posted, he never lost his energetic enthusiasm for journalism.
We later worked together in the Record newsroom, and it was a pleasure remaining lifelong friends with him, Pat and the whole family. Gene was a compassionate friend to many people, a great reporter and a true professional.
My sincere condolences to Pat and all the family.

My sincere condolences to the family on Gene's passing. I came to know Gene when I was a radio dispatcher for Guelph O.P.P. in 1965. Gene would come into the police office and obtain the news of the past day. I then joined the Kitchener PD and met up again with Gene again when I would work the front desk and Gene the news again for the past day. I got to know Gene a little better through my wife who worked for the Kitchener Record. I knew him as a fair and honest reporter. He was one of a kind.

I worked with Gene for most of his career at the Waterloo Region Record and we were longtime e-mailers in retirement after my move to Toronto and for the past two years in North Vancouver. He was an original whose enthusiasm for the news and all things newspaper was boundless. I’ll miss his late night musings that often ended with “more anon.” Rest In Peace, dear friend. And to Pat and family, please accept my condolences. May your memories sustain you in the weeks and months ahead.

Dear members of the McCarthy family,
Please accept my sincere sympathy at the passing of your husband, father, and grandfather, Gene. Many years ago I worked with Gene on the Executive of the St. Vincent de Paul Society in Waterloo Region. He was a man of great wisdom, compassion, and dedication to serve the poor. The meetings he led were well done, and we accomplished a lot over the years with Gene at the helm. I will keep him, and all of you, in my prayers. May you all have the consolation and hope that comes from our faith in the resurrection of Jesus. God bless you all!
Very Rev. Paul S. Voisin, C.R.

My sincere condolences to the family on Gene's passing. I came to know Gene in 1961 when I began my policing career in Guelph and Gene was, in his own words, a Cub reporter. We grew old in our professions together and I considered him one of the best reporters I had come to know and trust. Our contact was infrequent in retirement, but I am happy I reached out a few months ago and we had a long conversation. I cherish the signed copy of his book,"The Biker, the Stripper and the Cop He will be missed.
R.J. "Dick" Stewart,
Chief of Police (retired)

Gene was a very caring man who had a very giving heart. I worked with Gene through St Vincent de Paul and he was "a ball of energy" whenever I saw him. I learned a lot from him and there are many people that benefited from his generous heart in the community.

I also remember him working Christmas Day so other reporters could spend that day with their families. My condolences to his family.

I am so saddened to hear of Gene's passing. He was such a generous and caring man. I got to know him better when we worked together for a brief time a few years back. He brought me in the help out with the bookkeeping for The St. Vincent de Paul Thrift Store and we worked together at St. Agnes Church helping with Christmas food hampers. He will be sadly missed here on earth but God has definitely recruited an Angel in heaven.
