Really sad to hear that. That’s really a great loss to this world.
མཁས་དབང་ཁོང་སྐུ་གཤེགས་པར་ངས་ང་དང་ངའི་སྤུན་ཉེ་རྣམས་ཀྱི་ཚབ་བྱས་ནས་མྱ་ངན་གྱི་གུས་ཕྱག་འཚལ་རྒྱུ་ཡིན་ལ་ཁོང་ཉིད་སྐྱེ་བ་ཕྱི་མར་ཡང་བོད་ཀྱི་ཤེས་རིགས་ལ་ཞབས་འདེག་ཞུ་མཁན་ཞིག་ཕྱག་རྒྱུའི་སྨོན་ལམ་རྒྱག་རྒྱུ་ཡིན། །
མྱ་ངན་མཚོན་བྱེད་དུ་གུས་ཕྱག་འཚལ།
What sad news and such great loss for Tibetan Scholorship. I have known Gene since we met in Bellagio in I think 1961, and I have followed his career with interest ever since. He was my host in Delhi on many occassions and also in Jakarta.
He will be missed.

With Gene’s and all the others that support(ed) this amassing work, I’m sure the cyclic rebirth for Gene has transcended many realms. We must keep our hearts opened to all. The Dharma continues…here and now. Om Mani Padme Hum..
Gene was one of the most generous people I have ever met. It was wonderful to have known him. I remember many happy times, with him and my late husband, Hallvard Kare (Hal) Kuloy in the late sixties and through the seventies, in Delhi and Kathmandu. For those who mentioned his Dalmatian dog, Dorje: Dorje’s parents were our Dalmatians, Sleipner and Freya. It is very sad that Gene is no longer with us.
