Peacefully surrounded by his family after an unexpected battle with cancer.

He was one of the good ones.

Death notice for the town of: Windsor, Province: Ontario
I find myself in a sad place right now thinking of my cousin Brenda and all her children and grandchildren living without this head of the family, a family he devoted himself to.
From the moment I walked into Gus and Brenda home, the welcome was such a genuine warm place to be, and full of familiar family humour.
My whole heart is filled with gratitude for every time Gus made a brunch and I can picture him in my mind but right now it hurts too much….but I know we will all get there.
I will be here for all the things you loved most Gus, and that is your family.
Till we meet again. ♥️…love you.
We were shocked and saddened this weekend to hear of Gus’s passing. Over the years he and Brenda became loved, life-time friends of the Kwapisz family. Our heartfelt condolences to Brenda, Shelley, Stacey and Scott, and to Gus’s siblings and in-laws and cousins, and to Gus and Brenda’s many, many good friends. Gus was a wonderful man, and he lived a wonderful life.
Sincerely, Ed and Michelle (or as Gus preferred to call us, Eddie and Doc.)
