Your life was a blessing, your memory a treasure 

You are loved beyond words, missed beyond measure. 

With much love spread and many memories shared, our beloved Gus accepted his angel's invitation into the kingdom on Tuesday, July 26, 2022 at home in Trenton, New Jersey. As a result, our hearts are less bright but we know the heavens are filled with extra doses of love, joy, peace and laughter.
