Charles E. Gaus
Shared Memories
I first met Mr. Gaus doing renovations on Skip's house, maybe 45 yrs. ago. At the time I was handy, but fare from skilled. Skip asked me to work with his Dad piecing in missing floor boards. Not having a clue how to make a square board fit into a not so square space was beyond my skills. Mr. Gaus skillfully and patiently walked me through each step to make prefect joints for each board. As we worked through the day he shared with me his history making large metal ship panels that cover ship walls, fit within 1/16" for welding. Quick forwarding 2yrs. ago, working with my son on his house, I found myself teaching my son how to make square boards fit into not so square spaces. As we worked through the day, I shared my history working and learning with Mr.Gaus.
Uncle Charle aka Uncle Nuffy was a good man. He was loving, kind and fun. He always had a smile for his many, many nieces and nephews. He and Aunt Better raised two children that became wonderful adults. Thank you for the memories.
