There are very few people in this world you can say these things about. A hard working man who would help anybody who needed it and put everybody elses wishes ahead of his own. A genuinely loving man who would go to all of our kids events even if he didnt understand all the rules of the games or how they were played, he absolutely loved seeing and being with his grand-kids. I am truly grateful for having him in my life and I can say with 100% certainty that I am a better man for knowing him. I loved him, I miss him, and Ill miss all the time our kids wont have with him. -Jason P Visitation 4-8 PM Monday, June 20th at Roberts Family Life Celebration Home, 555 SW Centennial Dr., Forest Lake.

My sympathy to the family
Gus was a good friend and great to work with. I will miss Gus God Bless Skip Thompson
I’m so sorry to hear about Gus. I will miss his great smile. The one he always had for everyone he saw.
He brightened some of Al’s last days with that smile.
He made work a lot of fun. I learned a lot from Gussy! I will never forget when he drank my hot coffee and replaced it with hot Pepsi. I can still see him laughing as I drove off and he was waiting for me to get my first taste of it. He saw me spit it out the window of my truck! I bet he is still laughing.
I had the privilege of talking with Gus when I coached his granddaughter, Sammy. I will remember him as a kind and positive person. The good Lord definitely received a new right hand man when he called Gus home!
Ciao Zio! Noi non ci siamo vissuti molto, anzi quasi per niente, colpa di questa infinita distanza! Ma quelle poche volte che ci siamo visti e tramite i racconti di nonna, tua sorella Palmina, mi sono sempre resa conto di che fantastica persona eri..anzi sei, perché tu continuerai a vivere in noi, Sempre. Ora vai e goditi la compagnia di tua sorella e portale un bacio enorme da parte nostra! Ti vogliamo bene Zio
We were shocked and saddened by the sudden passing of Gus. Such a quiet, but funny man. He will be missed by his Stockys Harbor “family” at Mille Lacs. Our sympathies go out to the Lametti family during this difficult time. Rich and Becky Parker
I was deeply saddened to hear of Gus’ passing. He was a gentle soul. Our heartfelt condolences go out to the entire Lametti family during this most difficult time. Gods Blessings.

I have only known Gus & Ivana for a short time. I first met them about 4 years ago when I went to their beautiful home for my first meeting with Ivana so she could alter my wedding dress. The second I stepped foot into their home, I absolutely fell in love with it! Here we are, 4 years later and my husband and I will soon be the new owners of their beautiful home. As Keith and I were getting to know Gus & Ivana through all of the purchase details, it is clear to me that Gus & Ivana have a special love for each other and a very special love and bond for their home. In talking with Gus as he walked us around the home to show us all the ins & outs of the home, I told him how much he reminded me of my own Father……his looks, his demeanor, everything! Seeing this picture of him reminds me even more of my Father. Gus, you were a special man and we promise we will treat your home with as much love and care as you and Ivana have! Peace is with you now and you are home. God Bless You. We will watch over your lovely bride and help her with whatever we can, but I take comfort in knowing that you will watching over her with Angel eyes! Prayers and comfort to you Ivana ~~Pamela Hoppe
Sorry for your loss!
Gus was a strong yet gentle man as I have ever known. He spoke few words but made them count, like when the problem he was having in the garden with little squirrels he named “chip monkeys” in his heavy Italian baroque. I just about wet myself laughing. I pray he enters into HIS rest, soon to be with the Lord, as we miss him here.
I didn’t know Gus well as I had just met the Man. He was a dear man and will be missed by his family and friends. Keith
