Tributes
Leave a tributeI miss you so very much. I think about you all the time! I pray for you every day. You really touched me every time my family and I would come up to visit my mom (your sister). You always made time to come over to see us. One time when we were up; you noticed that my van license plate bolts we too short to keep the plate on well. You went ahead and changed out the bolts for longer ones before you had even come inside the house. We didn't even know that you were there yet. You were so thoughtful and so caring in the many things you did from the greatest to the simplest. We have long since gotten rid of that Van; but I insisted on keeping the bolts before giving it up. I still have them to this day. I've had them for at least 15 years now. They sit in my memory set of book shelves; along with the Christmas ornament that you made for me and my family. You had all of our names embroidered on it. I just love it!! I also have my great grandmother's (your grandmother's) handkerchief in my memory shelf.
I'm so sad that I didn't know that you wanted to walk me down the aisle when I was getting married. I would have loved for you to have done that. I'm also sad thinking that it must have really hurt your feelings when I didn't ask you. I hope you can forgive me.
I hope and pray that you know how much I truly love and miss you!!!! You are always always in my prayers and in my heart!!!!
Love, your grandson Luke guss
Love, Lil Jay

Memories of Kermit Lee Guss
I met Kermit in 1973. We married and had our wonderful son, Jason Lee Guss in 1974. Kermit was a kind , very quiet and private man. A dedicated devoted father and good provider. One of the best 'locksmiths' around.Kermit loved quiet and being outdoors, and sharing quality time with our son. They went to wrestling matches, golfed, loved attending car shows in Wash/.DC and experimenting in the kitchen.lol
Kermit had a way about making others laugh, with his own sense of humour. He had his own style, his own sayings, his own beliefs. He loved his family, friends and people from all walks of life. I never heard a curse word come from his mouth. never drank .. just a wholesome, loving, and kind guy. Unfortunately,Kermit had no idea he had a bad heart, until it was too late. Never sick a day in his life, he never bothered to see a doctor nor felt he needed one. I miss you Kermit Lee. Thank you for always being our devoted friend and being there for us. Thank you for being a friend to Jeff through his battle with cancer..and sharing our trips with us on Sundays for the last 24 yrs. We hold dear those trips and your 'trivia games' making us laugh!! I can hear your laughter as plain as day. One of our funniest memories was Kermit hopping around the living room showing off his funny, multicolored, toe socks! haha. He loved wearing t shirts from the many places we visited on our Sunday travels together..A love for photography.. we have pictures of him running on the beaches of Ocean City on a windy day, trying to catch his hat blowing away!! We love you and miss you deeply. Come visit us in our dreams. Loving you in such a dear ,dear way. Love, Sue and Jeff
