Gussie worked for Sarcan for 20 years before he retired in 2018. Gussie loved snowmobiling, the Beatles, and Mr. Bean. He was a man of great faith and attended church regularly with his mother. After her passing, he would often attend with his brother Larry.

He will be missed by his surviving siblings, Marlene Cherwoniak, Percy (Audrey) Schindel, and Larry Schindel; his 2 nieces and 2 nephews and their families. Gussie was predeceased by his parents, Gus and Lilly Schindel, and his brother-in-law Herb Cherwoniak.
