To Michele and the Zurface family-
I am so sorry for your loss. Gus was such a kind man. He would visit Michele at work and loved getting know everyone who worked around his daughter. He always made everyone smile even if it was just the first time meeting him. I truly enjoyed the few times I was around this amazing man.
