Dear Family:
I had the great pleasure of working with Mark at TANDBERG. He was a true professional and very kind man. He spoke so highly of his family! I am very sorry for your loss and will keep you in my prayers!

Mrs. Wilhelm, Kris, Vickie, Dick and family,
My sympathy and thoughts are with you. Hard to imagine that the "little pest" is gone. I, like Kathy, remember him always wanting to know everything that was going on and crying when we'd tell him to go away. I know how proud all of you were of Gus and how much he will be missed. I will keep all of you in my prayers.

I realized today when I heard the news that Gus and I have known each other for 34 years. We have kept in touch over the years and he was truly a lifetime friend. My condolences for your loss. I will miss him.

I'm very sorry to hear of Gus' passing. We enjoyed many good times together. He was a good guy and always a lot of fun. I was sad to hear he was so sick. Deepest sympathies to Dick, Gus's mother and sisters, his wife and sons.

Dearest Heidi,
There are no words that can express our sorrow. So many prayers were said, so many thoughts of Gus & you this past year & hope for his recovery. What he endured is so unfair & really tests your faith, what you endured is unimagineable, yet how lucky he was to have you by his side. I know that on the days the sun did not shine, you were his sunshine. We'll always remember the way Gus enjoyed life & lived it to the fullest. God has a new angel who I know will always be looking down from above & giving you the strength to go on. Our hearts ache for Gus & you. God Bless
Greg & Georgianne
Willie, Connie & Family,
Our thoughts are with you at this time. Gus will be remembered by all who knew him as the fun-loving, great guy that he was. What he endured should teach us all to enjoy & live life to the fullest. So very sorry for your loss. If there's anything we can do, you know we're here for you.

I am so sorry to hear of Gus's passing. Having lost my sister, I know the hole this will create in your hearts. I remember Gus as that younger ornery brother who wanted to know everything his sister and her friends were doing. He was probably bored to see that we were such goody two-shoes.
Please know that I,m thinking of all of you. Let your mother know I mourn for her loss; can't imagine losing a child. Please know you are all surrounded by warm, supportive thoughts and wishes for strength and peace .
