This man never frowned if you told truth. Forever he will look appon us with loving smiles, and he will always hope for the best. This man always had hope and that...

YOU TOLD ME...
you would not go out with me.That we would never get along. I never told you that was the only time I ever asked a man out. Just had never met a man who impressed me enough. It was the way you carried yourself. That slow confident strut you had happening. The way people resonded to the presance that was GUS HAMMER. Everyone sat a little taller. Your positve energy was so damn infectous.

So sorry to hear about Gus. I was a friend and customer of his Golden Ave. Station. He was a big hearted man that would almost do the work on your vehicle for nothing to help you out. I have not seen him in a long time, but he has always in my thoughts. I have nothing but wonderful memories of him.

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.
