I am so very sorry to hear of *Gus’s* passing. I got to know Gus during my many years at Justice Canada and he was just so lovely. He always took the time to chat and share a warm smile. He will be missed. My thoughts are with all his friends and family and those who loved him.

Heartfelt condolences to Gus's family. Too bad I could not connect with him since the pandemic started. He always had a smile and only good things to say about others and he was really proud of his family. Irreplaceable loss to everyone!
May his soul rest in true peace and attain everlasting Nirvana!

My condolences to the Siouti family for your loss. I hope that you can find comfort in each other with the memories, in this difficult time. Gus will definitely be missed. I worked above Delikat Cafe, and went there almost every day. No matter how he felt, he always served us with a smile. We also have had many conversations about life (his also) in general, to the simplest and funny things in life. He will definitely missed.

My deepest condolences to his family and friends. I am so thankful that I have gotten the opportunity to know him. He was warm, welcoming and kind. He always had a few minutes to talk to you and to give you great advice while you waited for your order at the Delikat Café. Thank you, Gus, for all the kind and caring words. You will be sorely missed.

It is with shock and sorrow that I just learned of Gus's passing. His gracious ways, positive spirit, and generous smile when I walked into the cafe was a bright spot for many of us, as is clearly shown by the many messages who felt just as I do. He was part of my work family and one of the people I missed seeing on a near daily basis when everything changed. I often thought of him, wondered how he was keeping and prayed that the business would continue to thrive despite all the many challenges I am sure have been faced these many months. People often say it, but it is so true, that he will be deeply missed, some people make a mark in your world and they are irreplaceable.
My sincere condolences, Gus was a special person: Kind, patient, always had a welcome smile for his customers. He will be greatly missed.
