Gene was born on May 20, 1936 in Johnstown Pennsylvania. He graduated from Franklin High School in 1954. He married Patricia Louise Bozic, his high school sweetheart and partner in life, in 1956. Over the next 35 plus years, Gene’s head for business and professional drive resulted in him successfully managing 3 simultaneous careers, including his own Gene’s Marine Sales, working for Bethlehem Steel Company for 33 years, and entering into the family business, Ribblett Bus Corporation begun by his father in 1954. He was also a board member for the South Western Cambria County Water Authority.
