On October 24th, 1970 Gene married Linda Rae (Billingsley) Schneider. In 1975 their son Troy Schneider was born. Gene was an amazing father and enjoyed sharing his many hobbies with Troy, as well as cheering Troy on as he followed his own interests.

Gene enjoyed spending time at his cottage on Pickerel Lake. He was an avid hunter and traveled from Big Falls (where he bought a bar on a whim) to Elton in search of a prize buck.

Gene was member of the Greenville Lions club for over 30 years. He was the “Lion of the Year” in 2018. Gene was the recipient of the Melvin Jones award for his commitment to the club. Gene was the guy everyone knew when you walked into any function and he loved talking to friends and any new person he met.

He is survived by his son Troy Schneider, New London. Troy’s girlfriend Tammy Lowney. His sister Beverly (Schneider) Ziehl. His very close friend Judy Schmidt, as well as other relatives and many friends.
