The Family,
I became a friend of Gus late in our lives--after we moved to Leisure World. We spent much time discussing the politics of our dwelling place and what we could do to improve it. I had such a discussion with him just ten days ago. He frequently talked of how my brother Dr. Joe McDonald helped he and your mother raise you.
I'm sure Ellen and he are happy together in their new life. We all miss them. My prayers are with you.

Ellen Pat, John, Cathy, and family,

Though it has been too many years since I have seen Uncle Gus he and Aunt Ellen are always in my heart. They were a huge part of my growing up years and I remember them with much love and fondness. I am sorry for your sadness and will keep you in my prayers.

Gus hired me to work for his department in 1983. He was a wonderful man and a conscientious boss. He will never be forgotten.
