Gene Payne Passes

      One of our board members has passed away. Gene Payne was an avid golfer and a longtime member of ASGA.  Gene had served ASGA as a BOD officer from 2009 through 2011 as vice president, president and past president. He had not been a playing member of ASGA for the last few years, however, while not his real area of expertise, he agreed to let his name be entered as a candidate for the new BOD Website Director. He was enthusiastic about the assignment and was making great strides in understanding and handling the details of the operation.
      He went to the emergency room April 7. During his trip to the hospital he was reaching out to ASGA officials to make sure one of his ASGA assignments was completed. After many tests, the cancers discovered and other complicated issues led he and his wife to agree on a predetermined decision to move him to Hospice care Thursday, April 16. Gene passed on Saturday April 18th.  He will be so missed. The brief obituary link below will give you some information and Gene's wife, Bridgette, can be reached at 512-748-1440 should you want to reach out to her for more info.
