Deepest sympathies and most heartfelt condolences to everyone. Mr. Guschewski was a very special human being. He was in every sense of the expression a true gentleman. He was kindly, patient and always had a smile for everyone. He was a charming and gracious host for his company whom he kept spellbound with his numerous amazing stories. So much to learn from him! I feel privileged to have known him even just a little, and I can not begin to imagine what loss this is for you all. My heart and thoughts go out to all.
Mr. & Mrs. Ralf Wilmsmeyer
