Gus was a good man.....he always offered a handshake, a smile, and something positive to say. He was my friend and a great American. I will miss him.

In the passing of a great American I will never forget my time of service on the rock " OKINAWA " under the command of COL. Louis G. Hergert JR. My prayers will be with you. Specialist 5 K.W.Pierce
