On June 8, 1974 he married his loving wife of over 42 years, Doreen (Gregg) Angus. Gus worked at the Brandon Land Titles Office for almost 33 years where he made many friends. He was passionate about sports. Heart and determination defined his numerous achievements over the years: playing hockey in Virden, Souris and Brandon, fastball with Virden and Scarth and golf in the Tamarack as well as various tournaments throughout southwestern Manitoba. A caring father, husband and friend, he spent countless hours at the rink and the ball park, coaching, managing and just watching the games he so enjoyed.

Even as he fought Parkinson’s in his later years, getting together with family and friends always brought lots of smiles and happiness.
