Gene was born on October 31, 1945 in Cherokee to Marius and Ruth Streeter. He attended college at Estherville Community College and worked as an insurance agent for Mass Mutual for 50 years. On June 10, 1972, he married RobN Teichman and raised three daughters.

Gene was an avid golfer, loved fishing, and had a special affinity for corvettes.  He was happiest when surrounded by his close friends and family and never missed a cocktail hour.  We will miss his colorful language, dirty jokes, and most of all, stories of the pranks he pulled during his life.

Gene was preceded in death by his father, Marius, his mother, Ruth, and brother, Michael "Butch" Streeter.

He is survived by his loving family, wife, RobN, his three children Heather Streeter (Nick Westphal) of Ankeny, Iowa, Holly Streeter-Schaefer (Ken Schaefer) of Overland Park, Kansas, Heidi Conley (Jacy) of Prairie Village, Kansas, his two grandchildren, Morgan and Logan Kinch, and his sister and brother-in-law Marilee Strenge (Daryl)of Melvin, Iowa.
