Quoted from rommy:You know...it would go a long way for Gene if he would apologize by name to those people he mistreated. If he asked, and they forgave, he might get some help from the community.
I think it's better to simply forgive, without waiting on an apology from a 70 year old man who looks to be going through an awful time. Even if the apologies are warranted, what does it prove at this point?
Life has a funny way of kicking you in the nuts at times, and I, for one, would rather extend my hand to someone who needs help regardless of how they may have treated me in the past (especially over petty things). He probably accepts that karma has done a number on him so late in life.
