Warner St just won’t be the same without Gus. Always a story to tell and a cold beer to enjoy at the same time. And he sure could dance. Rest in peace Gus and say hi to Fuzzy.

My deepest sympathy and prayers go out to Gus’ family and friends.
Gus was a kind man who looked after the cement Maple Leafs at the cemetery where my parents were buried. He also placed small Canadian flags in them. I am so grateful for his care to their grave site. Thank you! Karn Durdin
