Gus and I were thrown into the mix at American Legion Post 311 around the same time as Officers, we would always joke on how we got roped into running for the open positions. He helped me out always. And when I was bartending he would always come in and ask for some "Stupid Juice". I know you are in no pain anymore now, rest easy and know you will not be forgotten.

Gus, you failed to make your battle stations during general quarters. You are now relieved from your watch. A job well done fellow Navy Veteran. America thanks you for your service to our country in the defense of freedom. The carrier has turned into the wind preparing for your final departure. The honor guards are stationed and final volley has sounded. Taps is about to sound ending a successful career as a nation´s defender. Smooth sailing shipmate.
