Carl Donald "Gus" Gustavson

At the close of this holiday season and the beginning of the new year, we just wanted to take the time to thank all our family and friends and my Dad's friends and neighbors for their thoughts, prayers and love.
You have made this very difficult time much easier to bear.
Our love to all of you,
Skip, Susie, Amanda, Barrett and Chip

Mr. Gus was the kindest and friendliest gentleman I've ever known. To anyone that knew him, you know how true this is and to anyone that didn't know him, I'm truly sorry that didn't have that pleasure. To my mother Ann Catanese, I'm so sorry for the loss of your dear friend as I know he meant a lot to you and you will miss him dearly. To Kevin, Kathy, Skip, Susie and your children I am also truly sorry for your loss as you had a wonderful father who thought the world of you. All of my...

He was known as "Papa Gus" to our family. He was my dad's (Tom Brady) best friend and they would travel to Michigan to spend a week or two per year with us. After my dad passed away, Gus continue to grace us with his presence. Whenever my husband and I came to New Orleans, we were able to spend time with him. Our last visit was Christmas in 2011 which was a wonderful reflection of our love and friendship over the years.
We will miss his warm and smiling face. Bonnie & Peter Behrens

We are grateful how your love for Dad also embraced us and our children. You will always be special to us because you were so special to Dad. We...

I will always our family visits as endearing because of Uncle Donald's antics. Although there was plenty of silliness going on he sure did make it fun! Love to my Gustavson family. Hope to see all soon! Love and prayers.

Thank you to all of my dad's neighbors and friends and relatives who looked out for him and assisted him when family was not able to be there and support him, especially Ms. Ann Cantonese who provided him companionship and comfort over the last 20 plus years of his life. His life was much richer because of all of you.

Nancy you and your family are in our prayers. Your dad was a wonderful man. He will be missed.

Love
Bobby, Guy and Susan Roth

Gus,
Our prayers are with you and your family. Your father is now in the hands of our Heavenly Father. His service to his God, family and country will be rewarded.
