With sad hearts, we announce the passing of Augustus (“Gus”) Drake on Saturday, April 5, 2025. Gus had been living at Portsmouth Road Home for a short time, but made a big impact. He loved coffee, people, and Clay Tree Society! (See comment for more…) ❤ #RestInPeace #RIPGus

Unless you were 12-13 in 79 in the PNW, you will never know what Gus Johnson meant the fans. #RIPGus
