After he made Gene Vieh, He thought in a different way then most of us, and we look at him funny when he says something. But after a little thought we always knew he was right. He just looked at the world a little different.
He flew jets for the air force and commercial jets later. Almost all his class has died from skin cancer, from the sun rays thru the glass of a cockpit at 10,000 + feet.
Gene died yesterday morning at his second love after his wife and family at the Willow
Creek Ranch at the hole in the wall.

I called Gene on Christmas Eve at the hospital in Houston Texas, he told me "Thank God that there are people to live in Cities so you and I don't have too"
Gene was a life saver we spent a couple days at his ranch a couple days after Jody funeral last summer. It was a great place to heal and a good man that helped. I sure God already has a job in Heaven for Gene not sure if there be any red dust to stain everything
Gene Vieh was born and raised on a small farm outside Memphis, TN. As a teenager, Gene competed in rodeo events as a bull rider, bareback bronc rider and calf roper. He also began flying at a very young age. After high school, he attended Mississippi State University and graduated with a BS in Banking and Finance. College was followed by five years as an instructor pilot in the USAF and thirty-three years with Delta Air Lines as a line Captain, instructor pilot and check pilot. In 1995, Gene and his family moved to the Willow Creek Ranch At The Hole-In-The-Wall southwest of Kaycee, Wyoming. There they run a herd of black angus and baldy cattle in a cow-calf operation as well as a band of registered quarter horse mares bred to the Sugar Bars and Doc Bar family of stallions. The Viehs also run a guest ranch operation with fishing and hunting sidelines. In addition to managing the ranch operations, Gene also takes time to serve the ranching and guest ranch industry of Wyoming through his involvement with several organizations. For example, Gene has served as a board member of Wyoming Homestay and Outdoor Adventures, Chairman of the South Big Horn Mountains Weed CRM, and as a board member of the Wyoming Stock Growers Association.
