Senator Chuck Hall comments on the passing of Gene Rainbolt

OKLAHOMA CITY – Sen. Chuck Hall, R-Perry, a longtime community banker, issued the following statement on the passing of Gene Rainbolt.

“Gene Rainbolt was an Oklahoma icon, a benevolent civic leader and a banking visionary who set a gold standard for so many of us in the industry,” said Sen. Chuck Hall, R-Perry. “I first met Gene over 30 years ago when I started out as a banker. His work to build the largest state-chartered bank in Oklahoma was truly remarkable. Outside of business, his philanthropy and unwavering commitment to better this state helped transform countless towns and cities where he had bank branches. Gene's absence will be deeply felt in Oklahoma’s banking community and beyond. I’m praying for the Rainbolt family during this difficult time, but I hope Gene’s family and friends find solace in knowing that his legacy will live on in Oklahoma for decades to come.”
