Gus was born in Cold Point, PA. to the late Lewis & Stella Kasopsky. He is also preceded in death by brother, John and sisters, Ann & Marie. After serving 4 years in the Air Force during the Korean War he married and eventually moved his family to Raleigh in 1959.

After retirement he found enjoyment working another 13 years with the News & Observer until the age of 76. He was an active parishioner of Sacred Heart Cathedral and then St Raphael Catholic for 60 plus years serving on many committees, dedicated usher and member of the Knights of Columbus.

Mr. Gus cherished his high school days playing sports and encouraged his son and grandson to do the same. He also liked keeping up with local teams but was always proud and true to “his Philadelphia Eagles”.

Though the last 10 years his health caused much pain, his will to live and continued support for his family proved to be mighty.
