To all of Guss relatives.  My deepest sympathy.  I found out today of the loss of such an old and dear friend.  Gus and I shared an office way back when on Wilshire Blvd, the old Equitable building.  We shared friendship with attorney Jerry Reyes.  I was looking for Gus, to invite him over to my house and spend some time remembering our old days.  All those unbelievable stories, like the one when we went to Donna Summers birthday party at Martonis one of Guss hang outs.  He introduced me into collecting Dali art work and loved his Mercedes Gulf Wing.  He used to hang around with Wilson of the Beach Boys.  Well, I could go on and on.To all of the family my best.  Please count on me for anything.  You can reach me wagsa@hotmail.esTony

Dearest Dad,      It has taken me several years to write something as I always thought that I would keep my thoughts & conversations between just you and I. I find myself coming back to this page several times a year, just to read what friends and family members have written.      I know you are watching over us but wanted to share news with you, Lolo and Lola.       Although the girls and I haven't seen each other since 2009, I want you to know everyone is well and we are doing fine.       Nathan is doing great. He's almost 4 now and is just a delight. As for me, I've remarried and have a wonderful wife. She's fantastic with Nate and just an absolute joy.      I wish you could see him, Luciano and and Remington. You'd be proud of your grandchildren and the parents Erica and I turned out to be.      Thank you for helping me become the person I am today.       For showing me there is a world worth conquering and living each day to the fullest.      To live well, laugh often and to love much......      Your loving son,      John

To all of the family members, my deepest simpathy.  I am sorry that I just found out today of Guss passing.   I shared an office with him on Wilshire Blvd, on the Equitable building.  He gave me an opportunity that helped me throughout my life.  I will be forever grateful.  if there is anything that I can do for any member of his family please do not hessitate to contact me.   I remember when we used to go to Martonis on his gull wing Mercedes, for lunch.  He had great taste and flare for life.  I remember his first house in Beverly Hills, where Bryan Wilson of the Beach Boys was his neighbor.  I can tell his children and grandchildren that they have every reason and right to be very proud of him.  I am sure he is living in peace, good men never die, they live on forever in our memories.      Walter
