He was a member of the Connecticut Bar Association for over 50 years and worked in private law practice until his final days.
In 1972, he was elected Mayor of Derby, an office he held for two terms. He served as the Legislative Commissioner for the State of Connecticut from 1976 to 1988. He was a Director on the Board of the former Housatonic Bank and Trust and Chairman of the Board of Directors of the former Derby Savings Bank. He was a member of St.
An avid sports fan, two of Gene’s best days were attending the 1993 Kentucky Derby to see his horse Silver of Silver compete, and watching his favorite Chicago Cubs win the 2016 World Series with his son and best friend, Christopher.

He was predeceased by his brother, Andrew.
