After Farm Boy, City Girl was published in April 2020, he enjoyed hearing every comment about it. Sadly, he passed away at age 89 in September 2020.
Before Gene finished his book, his life story had piqued the interest of documentarian Geoff Story, who is working on the upcoming LGBTQ-history documentary, Gay Home Movie. Gene was interviewed for the documentary for background history. Gene and director Story also were interviewed for the article, “L.G.B.T.Q. in the Midwest, Where the Fight Is Still Happening,” which was in The New York Times in May 2019.
An excerpt from Gene's book was included in Sweeter Voices Still: An LGBTQ Anthology from Middle America, which was published in January 2021.
