With much sadness I was woken up this morning to hear of Gus' untimely
demise in a motorcycle accident last night.

Details are sketchy but what is known is that the driver of the other
vehicle was at a stop sign & then pulled out in front of Gus (Who didn't
have any stop sign at all due to being on the main road.) It's not known if
the other driver was under the influence or simply just didn't see Gus and
pulled out in front of him. The final police report could take weeks.

The wake is Thursday afternoon, the funeral is on Friday at 2:00.

I just returned from Gus' house and that's all the information I have.

Set Perntiss and myself are working on setting up a fund for people looking
to make donations. Gus had never made any financial arrangements if he
should happen to pass away and we would like to ease Dolores' burden as much
as possible.

This is a very tragic event, it was an honor to be called one of Gus'
friends and to have his company.

p.s. please pass this along to the other lists, I'll post more details of
the wake and funeral when I get them.
