I am so deeply saddened by the loss of Gus and my thoughts and prayers are with Celia, Patrick and the entire Foley clan. Gus was truly one of a kind and will be missed by all who knew him. He was a family man through and through and a true softie at heart. One of my favorite memories of Gus will only be understood by a few but it makes me smile everytime i think of it......."All Right". May you rest in eternal peace, Gussy!
