"Uncle Gus" I'll never forget the wheelborrows of concrete I moved on those jobs back in the day, or the times we were up on the roof fixing the chimney or gutters at Mom's house. You, Tony, Mike and my Dad/Mom taught me great work ethics which I respect. The doctors are going to miss the comedy routine of Gus and Wally, we sure had them laughing and their heads shaking the past few year's. Thanks Uncle Gus

Ah, Gus ... so, so many memories. All the wonderful Holidays and birthdays spent together as family. Thank you for being a father to my younger brothers and sisters and especially for being the true Grandpa for my children, Lisa and Dan. We will never forget you and you will always be in our prayers. Now you and my brother Andy will finally meet again ... may you both have eternal peace.

Gus, You were the only one I knew as "Dad". You were my father and I am proud that. I am sorry I was not there for you, at your side when you needed me and I will always regret that. You raised me and taught me baseball, golf and fishing. No matter what I did you never asked for any apologies. I pray that one day we will be together again as father and son. I love you and miss you more than you could possibly know.
Love always, your son, Tommy

Grandpa, I made it to the mountains again! Montana looks likes the mural you painted on the dining room wall! Not that I'll ever be close to the artist as you were, but I'll treasure my art supplies always! In addition, I'll never be able to have a garden like you, but planting this spring will bring back more memories. When ever I pick up a penny, I can't help think of us at walking around the high school looking for pennies almost four decades ago! Your great-granddaughter is catching on quickly! Danny and I were reminiscing last night not knowing we had already lost you. We know you are in a happier place and you have found your dog, Gorgeous. Love and miss you Grandpa! Lisa
