Stan and Kathy, May we send you our deepest sympathy at this time and say that our thoughts have been with you since we heard of the death of your father. We just heard today. Wishing we turned on the computer earlier to read your sad news. We admired him greatly. We know you will be brave in your sorrow as he would have wanted you to be.

Uncle Gus one of the most special people I've ever met. He is such a large part of the thread that holds our family together, someone you felt thankful to spend time with. He led his life with a kind heart, made his decisions guided by love, and someone who always put his family first. He would share in your joys, be the hit of any family event, and be by your side during times of sorrow with a hand to hold or a joke to make you smile. He had such a sweetness about him, you always knew how happy he was just to see you, and he truly cared about each and every member of our family and had a special relationship with each one of us.

I love you, Uncle Gus and I will miss you very much.
