We first met in the late 1960s but truly became friends in the summer of 1981, when the two of us spent an entire month traveling in Greece and Italy. At some point, he, a mutual friend Joe Tyson, and I began meeting for “Happy Hour” and dinner whenever we were together at regional, national, or international professional meetings. These were wonderful occasions (the last was in Dallas in 2020)! Gene was an outstanding scholar, a stimulating colleague, and an absolutely wonderful human being. I shall miss him!

Well done, good and faithful servant. Well done!
A reverent bow is offered to the memory of Dr. Boring.

He came to my small church on the outskirts of Dallas and gave revival series based on his (new) book Truly Human, Truly Divine. It was both scholarly and inspirational. My condolences to his family and my thanks to God for his great intellect and grace.
