We are so thankful for Uncle Gus: a caring uncle and devoted dad and grandpa, a faithful husband,a kind brother in law and son in law. We remember him rejoicing in his children's and grandkid's achievements, sharing stories, jokes, and country songs, violin playing and chess games, Yankees, and more, always deliberately and gently choosing to connect his life with us as individuals. He danced at his daughter's party, he attended his son's concerts and drove his family to visit extended family. He carpooled and worked with his son. He changed walls and built rooms. He helped out and housed his mother in law. He delighted in relating to those he loved and his family came first, even when working diligently to take care of his family. He loved special opportunities to share card tricks or joyful memories reflecting his personality and experience in friendship. He chose to cheer up his company, no matter the circumstance. He chose the high road. Whether it was singing a familiar song from a special part of his life or providing a special gift such as a dress he earned or a special baseball glove to a child, or reciting the books of the Bible, he chose to relate. He listened and remembered. And related. His legacy of love for his family and friends no matter the obstacles will carry on in all of us who knew him. He will be missed and remain in our hearts. How's that for your old uncle Gus! We love you uncle Gus!
