Our council was saddened to learn recently of the December death of Past Grand Knight Edward “Gus” Rogus.

Gus had contracted COVID-19 according to his family, and died on December 16, unable to spend the Christmas holiday with family.

Still, daughter Mary tells us he is in a better place now, having been ill for some time.

Gus led our council for several years in the mid-2000s, but actively participated for many years afterward.

We remember his untiring efforts standing outside St Michael parish selling raffle tickets, or outside the doors at Giant Eagle collecting food for the needy.

The family plans a memorial event at St Michael in the spring or summer, and the K of C hopes to be an active part of that.

God bless you Gus Rogus, and our sympathy to your family.
