Eugene C. Bianchi (1930-2022)

In his own words, Gene wrote: “A primary task for older people is to divest themselves of reminiscing rather than creating new memories. Growth through diminishment, based on a willingness to encounter the inner demons of old age with faith, can lead to authentic joy even amid hardships. Oftentimes this means that we must learn to adjust as obstacles and diminishment become evident. It’s good to think of God as our dancing partner as we improvise the new steps of growing older.”

Memorial services are planned for this spring in Athens and Oakland.  Please look for announcements.
