“Gus” was married to his loving wife, Irene, for 64 years. She predeceased him in November of 2018. Gus loved his family very much. His happiest days were spent with Irene, his children and grandchildren. They took many trips together as a family, visiting Japan to see his extended family, trips throughout Europe, yearly family vacations to Maine, and numerous trips to Disney World. He was very much involved with his grandchildren, and always had tid-bits of wisdom for them. He was a wonderful story teller and always provided others with comic relief. He was a wonderful father and grandfather!
Gus was honorably discharged from the Army where he spent two tours in Korea and one in Vietnam, and was the recipient of several medals of honor. His main hobby was tending to his lawn. From Spring through Fall he was on his lawn mower making sure the grass was always cut to regulation height and “green as a golf course”. He also enjoyed listening to music, drawing and watching old movies, specifically war movies.
Gus is survived by his children; Roseanne Nogueira and her husband Gary Shanahan of Londonderry, N.H., Gus Nogueira, Jr. and his wife Leslie of Portsmouth, R.I., Lisa Nogueira-Fei and her husband Ciro of Pepperell, MA. He is also survived by six beloved grandchildren; Michael, Andrea, and David Fei of Pepperell, MA. and Ryan, Warren and Jocelyn Nogueira of Portsmouth, R.I. He is also survived by three sisters.
