John is survived by his loving wife, Susanna Gust; daughter, Tracey Fair; son, Jeffrey Gust; daughter-in-law, Kelly Gust; granddaughter, Kylie Fair; grandsons, Cole Fair, Rylan Gust, and Dexter Gust; brother, William “Bill” Gust; sisters, Margaret Gust and Kathryn Adams; and several in-laws, nieces and nephews.
John’s first and foremost love in life was undoubtedly his family, and his second love was split between golfing, and landscaping his yard. John’s family will always remember his generosity and the many years of shared good times and laughter.
John left us on a sunny day, and we can imagine him teeing it off saying, “Life is good” on such a “candy” day.
We love you, John.
