I really enjoyed seeing him at church. He was a very nice man. I also enjoyed the talk he and his wife gave one day for the first communicants in 2007.
Kevin and Family -- I'm so sorry for the loss of your father. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
I am glad I had the opportunity to get to know your parents. What an example of living out their sacrament of marriage and how to be happy!!!
When folks live their life with their priorities in order, as they did, they had a sense of peace and confidence in their walk with the Lord. Both Gus and Arlou were so in tune that now their journeys in Christ have been completed on earth; may they enjoy the ultimate reunion and new beginning with their life in Christ.
I am so sorry for the loss of your father, he was such a wonderful and special man. I was so lucky to have your family as neighbors and will always be able to see your Mom and Dad taking their walks. Now they are united again. God bless you Kevin and family, I know you will miss him, as will many others.
I'm so sorry to hear about Gus. He and Arlou were both so very sweet and dear people. God has made sure that they are together again. He will truly be missed.
