Gus was a great husband, father, brother, grandfather, uncle, friend and accomplished businessman. Born in Boston, Gus was the eldest son of the late Anthony and Lucille Dettore. Gus started working at a young age and through hard work and determination, made a name for himself within the Dunkin Donuts business community. The donut shop in Brighton was his pride and joy and the beginning of many enduring friendships. He also shared his leadership skills with Ocean Edge Resort in Brewster, serving as the President of the Middlecott Village Association for the past 25 years. Although Gus was defined by his work ethic, he lived his life completely, was the life of the party and quick to laugh, and was loved by all.
