I miss my dad very much. He was a great man. I didn't always appreciate him or even respect him when I was growing up, but now I do wholeheartedly. My dad was a man who always fulfilled all of his obligations and took care of those that he loved. I see him every time that I look into the mirror. I now realize how much of him is inside of me. My dad taught me that life is not easy, man was he right. I know now that I am truly my father's son. I love you always, Matt

Gus was a dear friend. He was my mentor... always guided me in the right direction and the decision he made were based on being fair with both sides. will miss him very much. Syl Cangero

He was a great uncle will miss him

Gus was always very helpful to the Merrick United club. I personally would converse with him, ask him questions, share a laugh. I thought he was a real good guy and I enjoyed chatting with him always. He will be missed. Our club appreciated his assistance and we here at Merrick United send prayers to his family and loved ones for their loss of a great individual. Gus may you Rest In Peace. Driving over to the league meeting this past Tuesday I thought of him and wondered about his condition. I thought it was no accident that our Gus waited for us and decided to make the meeting to say goodbye! I know the league meant a lot to him and I felt like it was a special way for him to say goodbye to the LIMS gang.
