My condolences to the Gonczy family and friends. You all knew Gus had a sense of humour, but I bet none of you knew he was also a poet. 45 years ago he wrote in a child's autograph book... Roses are red Violets are blue I like eggs Can you swim I have missed Dot for 22 years and now I will miss you both forever, love Ruth - Posted by: Ruth Robinson () on: Mar 31, 2015

I met Gus in the early 80's when we became partners at Canada Packers. I knew right off the bat that we would be life long friends. He had a knack for making everyone laugh and made the long hours at work fly by with enjoyment. He was instrumental in my life, giving great advice when I needed it, in the absence of my own Dad. He even named our first child, Morgan. He will be forever missed & always remembered by myself & Al. He is finally reunited with Dot, and the kids can be assured that she is taking great care of him up there and sharing a laugh or two. - Posted by: Wally Lecuyer & wife Alison (close friend & co-worker) on: Mar 28, 2015

I'm so very sorry to hear of my Uncle Gus's passing. I can still hear his voice calling out "hello to the house" before coming in to enjoy a cup of coffee and cookies. He was very loved and will be missed by many, I'm sure. May he rest in peace. - Posted by: carly desharnais () on: Mar 28, 2015
