Although many years have passed when the name Gus Balistrieri comes up, I remember him and Josephine and the many good times we had together. He was a handsome, warm gentleman and he worked so hard to help the Italian Catholic Federation Branch in Petaluma to be successful. I wish he were here to give me one of his delicious fizzas. He lives on in our hearts and in our memories. May he rest in peace.

So very sorry to hear of your loss. I absolutely loved that man. I loved going camping out at the Coast with Josephine, Steve and Auntie Rosemary. My heart is heavy. My heart goes out to everyone.

Gus was always smiling and talking about his family and the fun they were having. We enjoyed many happy conversations with Gus at The Petaluma Valley Athletic Club. He was always a joy to be around. We want to extend our sincerest condolences to his wonderful family. Rest on peace Gus!

My condolences to Josephine and all the family on the loss of husband and father. I have many memories of ICF activities shared with Gus. He bartended at the many dinners we had and I'll always remember his Fizzes at the many breakfasts we held. He was a good hearted man with a great smile and he will live on in our hearts. Good and caring friends are never forgotten. May he rest in peace and may the family find peace in their memories of him. Louise Vicino
