Gus, God bless you! You will be greatly missed by me. You were like another father to me. I remember being very young and our families spending alot of time together. BBQ’s, Christmas time, picnics, outings at the local park, and my brother and I playing alot with your kids. You and my dad were on the Pueblo Police Department together, even after you both retired, you and dad still kept in touch. I remember calling you when my dad passed and you were there for me. You were always a very loving person. Thank you for being part of my life and lots of great memories. Give DeeAnn my love, I sure miss her and our childhood to high school days together. Much love and many prayers to your family. God Bless!
Gus, I knew you as patrolman and you were one of my sergeants. I remember you praised me as a “good officer, who does his job,” I’ll always remember that you put your men and your integrity first.
Hey Grandpa.. I can’t believe your gone. I thought you would live forever. Little did I know right. You never got the chance to meet your greatdaughter But I hope long long long time from now you will meet her one day. You where the best Grandpa and man I ever knew. You lived a great and long life and I know your in a great place now. I will forever miss you. And so do the boys. I love you grandpa And Ill see you one day again. I promise. KIsses and hUgs!!!! Love your Granddaughter Ashly Gourdin
Gus,
You will always be in my thoughts, your smile, your jokes, your beautiful presence…You were a great person and never had anything bad to say. I wish I could have seen you before you passed, but everything happens for a reason. Memories can never be lost, only physical appearances. I will see you again and when I do, I will be offering you the biggest pumpkin cheesecake you have ever seen. My condolences to the family. It will get easier. Thank you for being another father and grandfather to my family.

Gus, You were the first sergeant I worked for in Patrol on the Police Department. You taught me a lot and were supportive of me and your other officers. You also had a great sense of humor and a wonderful laugh. My condolences to your family and loved ones. May you rest in peace.
Father,
You have been my pillar of strength for so many years, now you are gone. In life you were my provider, my friend, my father, forever you will live in my mind and heart,in death you comfort me and showed me that it is ok to grieve.
You are loved by so many and will be missed every day, God has accepted hiw lost sheep into his flock, and I know that you are once again together with the ones that left you early, you are a great man and your heart and soul were filled with love and care.
Take care my father, for I know that you are finally at peace and that the suffering and heartache are over.
I love you dad, you are my father forever.
My dearest father-in-law you were the most loving and caring man in my life. When my father died you openly and without hesitation welcomed me into your life as a (daughter). I will never forget you and you will always and forever be in my heart and thoughts.
Grandpa, i love you. And i am going to miss you so much. Thank you so much for being such a great Grandpa to me. I love you so much. I am missing you already terribly. I will see you again. Byee.!
