Let the family know you care by sharing this tribute.
On June 27, 2019, Augustine “Gus” Lanzo, loving Father of Julia Lanzo, passed away at his home in Mocksville NC.
Gus is also survived by his family, Cindy Bailey; mother, Audrey Lanzo; sister, Cheryl Lanzo; brother, Allan Lanzo (Joanne); and nieces, Erin, Lauren and Kerry Lanzo.
He was born in 1955 in Oceanside, NY and grew up in Stony Brook, LI, NY, attending Ward Melville High School and graduating from NY Institute of Technology. His favorite pastime was collecting and driving Corvettes, with an annual trip to Carlisle, PA with his friend, Randy Hammitt for the Corvette convention. He enjoyed returning to Long Island to see childhood friends, most especially, Larry Roberts, who has been his best friend from the age of 1.
Gus was known for his sense of humor and kindness and will be missed by many.

I didn’t have long at all to get to know you but recognized how kind, compassionate, funny, giving and what jokes you would tell to make someone else smile. May you Rest In Peace.

I only really started to get to know you at our last reunion, and I really enjoyed the time we spent talking together there. I’m glad we had even a brief amount of time to get to know each other better. RIP Gus.

Gus,
I have so many wonderful memories of our times together. At the beach, watching Monday Night football, FEAR FACTOR, and our favorite AMERICAN IDOL. For all the times we laughed and cried together, pigged out on BOARS HEAD SANDWICHES, going to Ginni’s concerts at WEST, playing with JULIA, hanging out at the pool, and a million other memories I want to thank you!! You were so special in my life and the lives of so many!!! I will see you on the OTHER SIDE!! I’ll hunt you down when I get up there!!!
Miss your deep laugh and tender heart……Love, Nena

Julia,
Your Daddy absolutely adored you! I knew you when you were small — and for Gus, every day was Father’s Day where you were concerned. Heartfelt condolences to you, to Cindy, and to your family. I was both shocked and saddened to hear of Gus’s passing. I did not know about this until today.
In Sympathy,
Bonnie Alexander
