Gus also worked at Murray Machinery for a short time. Pitching horseshoes was a large part of his life. In 1999, Gus and Randy Rein won the Wisconsin State Doubles Championship.

Gus was preceded in death by his parents, and former wife, Shirley Schram.
The funeral service will be held at 11AM on Friday, December 16, 2016 at Schmidt & Schulta Funeral Home, Wittenberg. Chaplain Ken Heinritz will officiate. Interment will be in Forestville Cemetery, town of Easton, Marathon County. Visitation will be on Friday from 9am until the time of service at the funeral home.
