GUSTAFSON, Clarence D.(Gus)

 Age 85, born May 14, 1920 in Sacramento, has joined his beloved wife (Ruth) and daughter
 (Janet) in Heaven. Gus lost his long, hard battle to heart disease on January 11, 2006.
 He will be sorely missed by his daughter, Linda and husband Bob; his son, David and wife
 Alicia; his youngest son, Jim; and his grandchildren, Spence, Chris, Gregg, Annie and
 David and his 6 great-grandchildren. He also leaves the second love of his life of 12 years,
 Reva Butler. Gus served in the Navy as a Seaman during WWII in the South Pacific, and
 was discharged after surviving the sinking of his ship at sea. He worked as a firefighter
 at Mather Field and retired after 25 years. He then worked in body shops in Sacramento
 for 10 additional years. Gus loved life to the fullest and was known as a dedicated family
 man. He enjoyed dirt bikes, camping, and loved to dance at the Moose Hall until the last
 few months of his life. Gus had charm, personality, and a smile that made him "unforgettable"
 and the life of the party. He will be missed by many friends who just enjoyed being with him.
 We will miss his stories, smile, and his ability to always be there for whoever needed him.
 He will be forever loved and forever missed. Friends and family are invited to the viewing
 from 9:30am to 10:50am, Wednesday, January 18, 2006 at Russ Monroe's Village Chapel, 7960
 Winding Way, Fair Oaks, CA 95628. Services to follow at 11:00am. Burial will be held
 immediately after at the Fair Oaks Cemetery, 7780 Olive Street, Fair Oaks, CA 95628.

We are sorry to inform that Gus Gustafson, a long time member died January 11th. 
 Some of our older SIR's remember Gus well as he joined in 1984.  He always 
had a big friendly smile.  In recent years Gus was in a wheel chair and his 
friend Gene Hron would frequently bring him to meetings. No services are planned 
so this note is just for your information.  


Big SIR Bob Baker
