Uncle Gus & Aunt Mildred were special people. Not only did I enjoy our get togethers with family and friends, I became friends with the sons, whether they were in the flooring business or bringing me Lays potato chips at Mohawk gas station where I worked when I was 13. Mildred was a Godsend. She took possession of my newborn body after my birth and raised me as her own while Mom was recovering from tuberculosis in the Weimar Hospital isolation ward. You were an inspiration to all who knew you. RIP Uncle Gus.

Gus was my father in law, a very good father in law. I will remember him always as a gentleman. I don't recall Gus ever saying a cuss word. He was always courteous & respectful, especially to women of all ages. He & his Lady had the gift of hospitality, making you feel welcome & making room for you at their table, sharing whatever they had. Gus was a man of deep faith in Christ & raised his children in church, sending his daughter to Christian school. I would often see him quietly reading his Bible & devotions. He really did live by the Golden Rule. He not only taught his 3 sons his trade in the flooring business but taught them also to be good husbands & fathers. I credit him & his Lady for the wonderful husband I was blessed with in Gerald, their middle son. Gus ate wisely, which is one reason why he lived so well for so long. I loved to see him & Lady dance. We all would sit & watch when they danced to the Tennessee Waltz. Thank you Gus for many wonderful memories & for welcoming me into your family back in 1965. I am grateful to be a Meidinger for all these years. Well done Gus Meidinger. And now you are with all your loved ones who have gone on before. See you there someday, Sandy.
