Gus will be remembered for his hard work, arriving in this country and working tenaciously to provide for his wife and three children. He loved to garden and share his produce with his family and friends. He enjoyed a good meal and spending time in the kitchen, helping prepare the meal. Gus was proud of his Greek culture and passed on his love for Greek music, dancing, and food to his children and grandchildren. He was blessed with a beautiful wife who died too soon and numerous cousins and friends to spend time with. He was also blessed to have so many wonderful in-laws.

He worked for Armstrong World Industries and retired in 2004 to enjoy gardening, spending time with his family, and traveling back and forth to Greece. He enjoyed swimming at the Universal Athletic Club. Anyone who had the privilege of knowing Gus knew he was a tough bird, but he loved his family with all of his heart. He loved attending his grandsons' sporting events and was crazy about soccer and any sport on television. He was looking forward to watching his Chiefs in the Super Bowl.
