Gust started in the restaurant business in Grand Rapids, MI in 1959 and then relocated to Lansing, IL to open Mr. Gus Restaurant in 1971.  He was the founder and PROUD owner of The Commander Restaurant in 1981 until today along with numerous other business ventures throughout his 60 plus years as a “Restauranteur”. Gust was a long-time member of St. Demetrios Greek Orthodox Church, the Hammond AHEPA Chapter #123 and proud Past President of Pan Arcadians.  His greatest accomplishment besides being a proud grandfather, his family and restaurants, was to help fund the building of Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church in his home town of Ntoumina-Kastri-Arkadias, Greece.  In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made in Gust’s name to St. Demetrios Greek Orthodox Church.
