Gene is now being honored by a recommendation from the County of El Dorado to name State Highway 193 in his honor.<\/p>\n
This recommendation was forwarded to State Senator Ted Gaines, also an OHV enthusiast who is initiating the process to make this happen.<\/p>\n
Gene, who passed away in 1992, was an avid OHV enthusiast his whole life and will be remembered always for his many contributions to and support of the OHV community.<\/p>\n
