Capt Gus is Gone..... But Never Forgotten
It has been a long time since I have written anything on my Blog, but when I found out that one of the greatest people I have ever met passed away it brought me to my keyboard!
Gus Karpouzis -aka- Capt. Gus died last night! When I found out I was in shock, even though I have known his health wasn't the best for a long time. Gus is a Legend in this City. I have known Gus since I was a very small child. Out of the 40 some years I had known him he had always stayed the same. Always with a smile and a joke. Wanting to talk to the Kids, show them his magic trick and then give them a piece of candy.
He not only made the BEST Cheesesteaks in Lancaster, he made people want to come back for a smile. Always willing to give something to someone for nothing. Gus had a Heart of Gold which had touched so many other hearts in this City.
Capt. Gus.... we will miss your smile, but we will never forget it!
Thank You for the memories, my friend!
