I just learned of Gus's passing. My heart sank. He was a great man. Always had a smile, light hearted, a very generous and caring man. One thing I learned from Gus is not to sweat the small things. He could always let things just roll off his back. I never seen him get upset about anything and we had some tough jobs.
Rest in peace my friend. I'll try to carry your Integrity throughout my own life.
It was a pleasure to have known you.
