Gus, I forgot to light a candle for you in my first post. You were the light in the darkness that my brother and I felt prior to meeting you.

I'll always remember the day my brother and I met Gus and Harry in 4/1968. We were the new kids in the neighborhood and knew no one since we were still in school in Lansing. Gus and Harry were playing basketball one Saturday and invited us over. Gus was not only inviting, but we soon discovered his sense of humor which continuously kept us laughing. He also invited us to meet the rest of the family. The Flaris' are a wonderful family and come to find out, our dads had previously known each other. Sorry for the delay in writing this, but Gus and family will always remain very special people in our hearts. Rest in peace birthday brother (10/10)and may the rest of your family know that we grieve with you in your time of sorrow. My last name written here was Gus' nickname for me. (What a sense of humor).

Gus was a special cousin and a friend. We will miss his sense of humor. I have many good memories from Lincoln, Spohn, and Clark schools with Gus. He married my friend and had two wonderful children. I didn't have an identity--I was Gus' cousin.
