Stump attended St. Rita's in Chicago, and then moved on the DePaul, where he was a prolific scorer and teammate of the legendary George Mikan. Gene played two years for the Celtics before splitting the 1949-50 season between the Lakers and the Hawks.

He married Elizabeth Coakley (1922-2006) and they had seven sons and two daughters.

Some sources list his birthdate as November 13, 1923, but based on school and draft records, I think that is the incorrect Gene Stump. 

DePaul Magazine from Fall 2014 has him listed in the memorial listings.
