This was in 2014. We told Gus that we like Fords, and he told us and my son specifically that he should come see him when he gets his driver's license. Although we ended up getting a different vehicle, my son has always remembered Gus' charm and friendly enthusiasm.
On a separate note, Gus' tireless advocacy on behalf of the Cuban Exile community against the oppressive dictatorial Castro regime was epic and like no other.
May Gus' memory be a blessing and inspiration to his loved ones, and in some ways to all of us.

Mr Gus was a great friend of mine and my family and I was really really sadden of his death,  when I came to one of his dealership to pick up a bird dog check, Gus asked me what I am doing for lunch?  I respond to him that I have to go back to Palm Beach County and give my dad his pay!!
And  Gus said Mitch I am going to call your dad and tell him that I am going to take you out for lunch, so  we had lunch and he gave me a personal gift, I was like a grandson! Gus rest in peace

Dear Lilliam,

Ernesto and I send you our deepest condolences. Gus was an iconic
figure that represented the best of Miami and the Cuban American
community. His legacy is a result of his love for the people of Miami, always striving like you to making it a better place for all. His contagious zest for life will be deeply missed and will continue to be an example for all. Ernesto and Ana Maria de la Fe
