Although I havent seen Gus since I was a kid and he dated my mom Vicky he was always like a dad to me and my brother Jeremy. I have many fond memories from that time especially the cabin and catching the big sunfish off the dock and trying to catch the humming birds with the landing net! He taught us to ride the 4 wheeler (and how to get unstuck!). He was a great guy and I only wish I would have known he was sick so I could have thanked him for all he did for us as kids. I am deeply sorry for your loss but know He will be missed and always loved. May Gus and Jeremy reminisce in heaven!
Sincerely
Jessica
