He was a member of Am. Legion 150, Church of Ste. Genevieve. Gus worked at River Cement for 19 years then at Ste. Genevieve RII School District in the maintenance department until his retirement.
Gus leaves behind a legacy of love. He was a devoted husband, father and grandfather. He adored his grandchildren and great-grandchildren, making their school and sporting events a priority. He was a man of many words and never met a stranger. He was always willing to lend a helping hand, especially to his children. In his earlier years, he was an avid crappie and bass fisherman. He also enjoyed hunting and the outdoors. He will forever remain in the hearts of those he loved and knew.
