I remember going swimming after naptime with the Schills and Aunt Susie. We always walked barefoot on the hot pavement on the way to the beach, throwing our towel down to step on when we couldn't stand it any longer. Gus always seemed to be the first on the beach as we headed to the gully.
Summer just didn't start until the Schills moved over when school was out!

I lived next door to the Schill´s on Sullivan´s Island. We all played together every day when their family was on the Island. I remember playing Red Rover, Red River Come Over and many other childhood games. Being outside and having the Schill children as friends are of my fondest memories. I will keep the Schill family in my thoughts and prayers.

I well remember cousin Gus and the many wonderful times I had making memories on Sullivan’s Island with him. We spent many summers going to my great Aunt Susie’s house and “the back landing” with his sisters Carolyn and Jean, hearing his many jokes, and always seeing that glowing smile of his. Condolences to his children, grandchildren, and all the Schills.

Gus was an amazing man, and his presence is truly missed here at Prestonwood Court. I miss my morning greetings when I come to work. And the little dance with a dip on Sunday mornings. He was a true southern gentleman. I'm sure God welcomed you home with open arms.
