My sweet Uncle Gaston was the most wonderful, caring person. He always took time to listen to people and to make them feel special. He was too humble to ever admit this, but he was always the smartest person in the room. He raised an amazing family and leaves a legacy of love.

Dear Dan, Catherine and Deborah,
Kendra and I are very sorry for you loss. Your dad was one of the nicest people that we ever met. We enjoyed seeing him when we were down visiting in Florida. He was a loving person who loved his family. He took great care of your mom especially as she got older. There are not enough kind words that I can use to describe the quality of the man Gaston was. He was sincere, loving and much, much more. May he rest in peace. We know that he is in heaven looking down upon us today. You were very fortunate to have Gaston as you dad.
