"What the heck" is a phrase that now rings with Gus' accent and inflection. Ditto for "geez." Our relationship dates back to the fall of 2001, when I had the good fortune to embark upon a professional relationship with Gus, and Mrs. Burgin. It has it been my privilege to assist in the responsible management of their assets. Moreover, it has been my pleasure, and an honor, to enjoy that relationship as it grew more personal over time. Gus, you will be missed by many. Godspeed. Rest in eternal peace...
