Maria and Gus, our hearts go out to you. I couldn’t believe the news when Ricky told me about Gus. When we arrived in Florida in 2010, you were one of the first families we got to know as our sons were in Scouts together, and in the same elementary school. Ricky and Gus attended the same schools and played together in bands throughout middle school and high school, until we moved away. You kindly arranged an outing and treated us to ice cream before we left, which gave us all some time together before our farewells. Gus was always energetic, with a good sense of humor. I loved hearing him play the bari in band! He was a gifted musician. As I picture Gus now, I see him hopping on his skate board to cruise on home, as I did most days as I waited for Ricky in the parent pick up line at CLHS. Gone way too soon. We pray for you and think of you often as you face the heartbreak. God Bless you both. Margie and Paul Grasso
