J'ai rencontre cousin Gustave lors des preparations au 150ieme anniversaire de la paroisse de Saint-Norbert.  Il a contribue quelques photos historiques de la famille qui etait pionniere de cette paroisse, et j'en fut tres reconnaissante.  Son pere, Joseph Napoleon et ma grand'mere, Josephine (Bonin), etaient frere et soeur.  Une vie pleinement bien vecue.

Such a gentleman. Always a pleasure to be with. Played golf a few times and always looked forward to the next match. Rest in peace Gus. Bill & Donna

Beautiful tribute to a good guy. I've known Gus for over 80 years and am very glad to have had him as a golf partner and a friend.

Dad, I will miss you like crazy!  It was an honour to being your caregiver throughout the years.  I love to the moon and back.

Gus left a heck of a legacy. He built a family that he loved deeply. He served his country honorably. And he got a hole in one on the golf course. We should all be so lucky.
