Gene was born February 17, 1929 in Blackburn, Missouri to Reverend Edwin Henry Beissenherz and his wife Magdalene. The family moved to Wellington when Gene was 3 years old when Rev.

Gene graduated from Wellington High School in 1947. He married Charlene Myers on June 17, 1950. In 2020 Gene and Charlene celebrated 70 years of marriage. After a short stint at Lake City, Gene was the first trainee hired to work as a tool and die designer at Western Electric (now known as AT&T) and retired after a career of 31 years.

Gene had fifteen great-grandchildren: Cori and Walker Bear and Emerson Borgman; Brady and Ben Borgman; Charlea and Connor Emison; Clara, Charlotte and Cecilia Emison; Chandler, Camille and Camden Emison; and Amron and Abott Good.
He was preceded in death by his parents; two brothers, Donald “Buddy” Beissenherz and Richard Beissenherz; and a sister Elizabeth Abdoler. Casket bearers will be Gene’s six grandsons.
