He was predeceased by his parents, his wife of 69 years, Eunice, and his son-in-law John.
He is survived by his son Douglas and wife JoAnne, daughter Barbara, and grandchildren Zachary (wife Chelsea) and Katherine.
Gus served his country honorably in World War II as a member of the 102nd (Ozark) Infantry Division in the European Theater.
A memorial service is scheduled for Monday at 11am at Our Savior Lutheran Church.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests remembrances be made to Our Savior Lutheran Church and School, 5000 W. Tidwell Road, Houston, TX 77091.
