Gene Hauburger grew up, and raised his family, in Orangeburg NY located in Rockland County. He married his wife, Noreen O’Shea, in 1993. Gene worked as a Supreme Court Officer for 31 years and retired in 2014. He has two daughters, Amanda and Kelly and a son, Jimmy, who was tragically lost to suicide at the age of 17 after being bullied and cyber bullied. 

After Jimmy’s passing in 2015, family and friends organized the Jimmy Hauburger Memorial Foundation (Jimmyhauburgermemorialfoundation.org)whose mission is:

To support programs that increase awareness of teen issues such as Bullying, emotional distress and teen suicide. It is our hope that the foundation saves lives, and by sharing Jimmy’s story, we know that it already has. In 2020 Gene moved to Lake George in the Adirondacks, with his wife following in 2022, for a slower and more peaceful way of life.

In Lynn Cluess Manzione’s career, she has explored multiple genres to bring attention to social issues through storytelling. 

As a photographer she has spent over thirty-five years capturing moments, events, careers, and the works of non-profit organizations across the globe.

As an author her work has included two books; A Wondrous Journey- A small book with big lessons, and, When The World Shut Down- A community time capsule of the 2020 pandemic. 

Lynn most recently wrote and produced the documentary, Addressed To You From Jimmy, to bring the topic of bullying and suicide to the public's much needed attention. Addressed To You From Jimmy has been a feature presentation at The New York State Psychological Association Conference 2021, and The American Counseling Association Conference 2022.

It is currently showing at various film festivals.
