Dear Friends:
The funeral home in charge of arrangements for Gene's Funeral, Small & Pietras, has a wonderful website that you will appreciate. There is a page of photographic memories of Gene as well as a place where you can leave online condolences for the family.
Visit http://www.smallandpietrasfuneralhome.com; once on their home page, put "Pitney" in the search box and you will read the obituary and have the opportunity to link to other pages.
The family has asked that cards of condolence be sent to the Fan Club address, and they will forward them.
Gene Pitney Music
6201 39th Avenue
Kenosha, WI 53142
USA
We want to assure you that every email that we have received will be shared with Lynne and her sons. Many Fans have wondered what happened to Gene's website (http://www.GenePitney.com). It is being reworked and should be back in place in the very near future. Thank you for your patience.
Wild Wayne, a DJ from WWUH-FM who had Gene as a guest on his show six times, will be doing a two-hour tribute to Gene this Sunday evening. Wayne, a long-time friend of Gene's, writes, "It is intended to be a celebration of his music & life. Excerpts from Gene's past appearances will be highlighted. We broadcast all over the world now on the Internet. All one has to do is to go to http://www.wwuh.org and click on
Webcast to listen. The show will air this Sunday, April 9th from 6 p.m. - 8 p.m. Eastern time."
And here is the family's statement about the funeral services and memorial donations.
"We would like to thank family, friends and fans all across the world for their overwhelming support. Gene's greatest joy was seeing the happiness his music brought to the lives of those around him. He will be greatly missed but will live on through his songs. Listen to them and remember.
"If you would care to, in lieu of flowers, please make a memorial donation on Gene's behalf to either of the following:
