Our deepest sympathy to Anna and family in the passing of Gus. We are sorry we could not make the service. In June when we sang at MHS "Uncle Gus" came in and listened to the program - which was great.
We had a lovely chat with him after the program and caught up on family and remember some old times.
He as alway good to us girls and our brother. We will always charish the wonderful memories. He will be greatly missed. Susy (Laubach) Rundle and Jim- Maryann Boyko and Steve - Johnny (Robert) Laubach and Nancy and Frances Laubach

My deepest sympathy in the passing of "Uncle Gus". I am so sorry I was unable to attend the services yesterday. I first met Mr. Fox when I worked at the law firm in Nazareth. That is when he requested I call him "Uncle Gus". What a wonderful man. After my husband, John, retired from the Northampton Country Club he joined Mr. Fox and the fellows at the Nazareth Diner for breakfast. Last saw him when we sang at Moravian Hall Square. Had a wonderful chat with him. He will be missed. Again, my deepest sympathy to all of you.
