Time? time.......... is such a interesting thing. 10 seconds sooner, 10 seconds later, and this tragic accident would have never happened. And I would still have my ex-wife. And my two daughters would still have their beautiful mother and their beautiful baby sister. It makes me ask the question why? WHY? Rebecca was a wonderful woman, she will be missed by me, her daughters, family and many others. Bo was a beautiful little girl with the cutest smile. My prayers and thoughts go out to her husband, a very good man that has lost his world today. I can't begin to imagine his loss. My tears and prayers go out to you.

First of all my condolensces go out to the family. Having said that, this was a terrible lapse in judgement on the part of the father. Why would you chase down another vehicle and yell at them, while driving in the wrong lane and risk the safety of your own child, all over a damned cigarette, just doesn't make a lot of sense to me.

You guys rock!!! Keep up the great work. We need more people like you. Too bad there is always someone out there has to make it bad for the rest of you, but you are great. Don & Linda Simmons

This guy has something called paraphillic infantilism - it comes in many stripes, but is best described as a fetish for diapers and often baby clothes combined with transvestisism. It is normally pretty harmless, but it comes in many different stripes. In this case he likes to wear diapers and fantasize about being a boy who has to or is made to wear diapers around others - children in particular. It seems quite odd, but humiliation and a sense of exposure are an important part of his desires. For him, the world is just not quite right, unless he is wearing a diaper. Generally speaking, if he just wore diapers covered appropriately, even if obvious, this would present little problem for others, kids included. That is what most people with this fetish do. While there is sexual gratification involved, there is also a deep emotional need to wear diapers that goes beyond this - hence it is a form of transvestisism (which also has a component of sexual gratification I would point out). The problem here is that that while the guy is not interested in sex with kids, he is harassing them, and repeated warnings has not made him stop. As you could probably guess, I know something about this fetish, and I do not think it likely that he can easily if ever, stop. His behavior is unacceptable: even if only marginally harmful in any one instance, cumulatively it is quite damaging to his neighborhood, and its sense of security. At this point, I believe that he needs to be removed from contact from children, and that likely involves institutionalization if a court order not to go within a few hundred yards of kids in a diaper does not work. Jail time is unlikely to solve his problem, and as a real threat to society, he is pretty marginal. The court should order heavy psychotherapy and analysis, behavior modification - and if that does not work: well repeated jailing may be the only way to curb his behavior.

Gene was a great person and he will be greatly missed. He was the type of guy that treated everyone like they were good friends. I doubt that he knew anyone that didn't like him. What a tragedy !!

From one IBEW family to another, I am a daughter of an IBEW overhead lineman who put his life on the line for over 30 years. My oldest brother followed in my dad's footsteps and currently works for Hamlin Electic in Colorado, and he too like our dad braves the lines everyday. No words can express the heartfelt gratitude that these three men deserve for doing the dangerous job that they do. Please know that our thoughts and prayers go out to everyone during this tragic time. Godspeed! Kim - Colorado Springs

The charge of "giving a false name" is incredibly stupid, since according to the law, people are entitled to call themselves anything they want -- without changing their name via the courts -- so long as they are not claiming to be somebody else with the object of committing a fraud. Rockefeller has been known exclusively by that name for decades. He has not been called "Gerhartsreiter" for at least thirty years. I think that the conduct of this case brings great shame to Boston. This man has been in jail for a month, and it will be at least another month before he's tried -- for offenses that aren't necessarily even punishable by jail. It's a disgrace and the DAs office has a lot of explaining to do.
