Pat, Sincere sympathies to you and your family. Years ago when I was an Agent at the Haldeman Agency, you graciously opened your home to our office for a pool party. I have many fond memories of Tony. I would have came to the funeral home to pay my respects; but, unfortunately only found out today. Tony was a great teacher, with a lot of patience. He always took the time to care. I will think of him every time I pass a Dairy Queen! It was his unique way of giving directions! Somehow his "map" always included going by the nearest Dairy Queen. My prayers are with you and your family.

Dear Pat and Children,

It was with great sorrow that I read of Tony's passing. Please accept my sincerest condolences. My earliest childhood school memories include thoughts of him as we grew up together in West Waynesburg. Tony was a quiet and reserved youngster and an excellent student. Yet he attained the very highest scholastic and collegiate athletic achievement. It appears that he had remarkable success in later life as well.

Tony was a product of his parents in the truest sense. They encouraged their children to excel. They were disciplinarians but they tried to give them all the advantages they could afford short of excess. I fondly remember the dance floor they built in the yard and the dance parties they provided for us kids.

Tony's children should be proud of their Gusic heritage.

With warmest regards,

I was saddened to learn of Tony's passing. I also attended Waynesburg Highschool with Tony. He was a very well liked friend to all the students. Both he and Terry gave all of us some wonderful memories. I am proud to say I knew him. Sympathy to all of the Gusic family.

Please accept my sincere condolences at Tony's passing. We worked together at The Hartford in the 70's and later after he purchased his own agency. He was always considerate in all his dealings with me, even when he was less than happy with the result.

To the family of Anthony R. Gusic: Please accept my condolences on your loss. Mr. Gusic was very kind to my father, Louis A. Goldman, who moved into the house across the street. Mr. Gusic would shovel snow from my Dad's driveway and sidewalks; please know that such an unsolicited act of consideration was greatly appreciated by my Dad and by all of us Goldmans. I am thinking of your entire family during this time. Sincerely, Karla Goldman
