Praying for Gus’s family.🙏🙏🙏. Didn’t know Gus well but he was very kind to the 9-1-1 dispatching staff. May he rest in peace.

Sympathy to family and friends. R.I.P. Gus
Condolences to the family
Gus always treated me like a nephew. He was gregarious and always fun to work around. He always called me Jimmy, something that went way back in the fire department. I never experienced a bad day in his company. He loved hunting, caring for his dogs, and seemed to always be planning his next trip. I assisted in some of his projects that turned into adventures. You know, those things you do and when they’re finished and you’ve survived, make a good story. I loved the guy. My prayers and sympathies to all the family.
Friends for a long time
Praying for Susan and family. Love you we are here if you need anything.
