Gus enlisted in the Army, Navy, and finally Air Force serving his country proudly for 22 years. He continued in a career as a civil service employee at Charleston AFB retiring after 15 years. Never sitting idle, his interests included woodworking, motorcycling, and playing darts until a debilitating motorcycle accident in 2003.
