Belated condolences and sympathy to Darah's family. I'm so sad to learn of Gus's passing.  I only knew Gus for a short time through work while I lived in Regina many years ago, but from our mutual respect grew our friendship.  We lost touch when I moved to Alberta and then Ontario, but I always thought I would try to reconnect if I got back to Regina. My fondest memories of Regina include some epic adventures with Gus.  A road trip with him as our designated driver in a conversion van to Minot North Dakota, only to arrive as the state fair was closing. I remember a speeding ticket, I don't think he ever paid, and a few bars along the way, and on to Plentywood. Gus making sure the rest of us got there safely.  Another was a weekend of houseboating, more than a few drinks, and waking to AC/DC blasting away. Many, many lunches that started as business, but conversation always drifted to anything and everything. Gone too soon, rest in peace my friend.

This one hurts. Once in a while in this hectic life you look back to see what old friends are up to.  This is not the outcome I expected when doing so for Darah. One of the original Madhatters (with John Burton and Harold Peters).  Hours spent in the econoline van discussing our futures and listening to BTO - Taking Care of Business.  A great friend at a great time in life.  A tear is shed this morning.  A glass of wine poured tonight in memory of that all consuming smile and laughter. Blessed to have had him in my life.

My belated sincere condolences to Gus's family. I was thinking about Gus today, only to find this sad news. In high school he and I (with Harold Peters & Frank Quo Vadis)were almost inseparable, cruising in his old econoline van.Great memories that always had Gus at their core. You will be missed my friend,and you will be remembered always. Burt

I worked with Gus for several years and always enjoyed his company. He will be missed by all that knew him. He was always one of the good guys. My sincere condolences to the Gusul Family.

It was a pleasure knowing Gus over the years. We will miss running into him at a race or a car show.

I have great memories of a kind, funny, & patient man from the car club days. Sincere condolences.

My sincere condolences to the Gusul family. I knew Gus through work. He was an extraordinary man, soft-spoken, who preferred to lead through example. He ALWAYS had a smile when you needed it. Gus, you were the best & you will be missed.

Our deepest sympathies to Gus's family. He was a great person and will be missed.

As our next door neighbor we saw Darah grow up into a very fine, kind and gentle person.  We visited him a few times when we were back in Regina and saw how well he did in the business world.  Our condolences to his sisters.

Gus was a good man with a good heart. His generosity and kindness had no limit. He was respected by his co-workers and employees and will always be remembered and loved by his friends and family. May he find the same peace in heaven that he brought to so many here on earth.

Darah was a Boss, Mentor, Confidant, Advisor, Friend and always considered Family. We started off together at Crestview & 25 years later our friendship continues. Mere words can't describe how much I will truly miss him. Ted & Toula Yanko & Family

I have many good memories of Darah and all the Gusul family. Our families lived beside each other on Wesley Rd. for many years. Our mothers were great friends and I spent many a childhood day playing with all the kids who were my friends.  I am so sad to hear of Darah's passing and would like to pass on my sincere condolences to all of his family.

My condolences to the family. Gus was a mentor and a friend during, and after, my time that I worked with him. He will be missed by many, he will be remembered always. Love lives in your heart forever, keep him safe there and his memory will always be present.

I met Gus through his work.  I will miss hearing his voice at the other end of the line.  He was a very kind man!  I am truly sorry for your loss!
