It is with great sadness the family of August (Gus) John Domoslai announces his peaceful passing into the arms of our loving God on Friday, October 28, 2016 at the age of 94.
Gus was born on the family farm north of Burrows on February 17, 1922 to August and Elizabeth (nee Dorocki) Domoslai. He married the love of his life, Anne Farkas, in 1950, and together they farmed for forty years and raised their seven children. Gus was a loving, generous, adorable soul who will be dearly missed by everyone he came in touch with. He loved his family beyond compare, and his faith in the Lord ran deep throughout his entire life. He enjoyed many hours playing cribbage with family and friends, and his fun sense of humour brought plenty of smiles and laughter to all who knew him.
