Guss was a great neighbor to Larry & I, a sweet and kind man.
Always willing to help out anyone. I am sure of all his good deeds through out his life that he is being rewarded back now in heaven.

Gus was a very positive role model for me growing up in Iowa Park. I enjoyed his humor and great stories he would tell. He will be missed!
