MISEROCCHI, August “Gus” James
Mr. August “Gus” James Miserocchi, age 74, of Fairfield, died Tuesday January 13, 2016 at Hospice of Hamilton. Gus was born in Hamilton, the son of Julius and Josephine (Bokeno) Miserocchi who preceded him in death. He was also preceded in death by his infant sister Josephine Julie and his sister Carolyn Miserocchi Fiehrer. He was a graduate of Hamilton Catholic High School. He married Dolores “Dottie” (Wainscott) Miserocchi on October 9, 1965 at St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Hamilton.
Gus is survived by his 2 daughters, Gina Miserocchi Helms and husband David of Fairfield, two grandsons Connor and Matty; Anne Miserocchi Gamm and husband Kevin of Ross, two granddaughters Kate and Nora; beloved cousin Sandra Stegman of Cincinnati, and many other beloved friends and family.
Gus was always ready to have fun. Whether it was a CYO dance in his youth, racing his car or riding his Harley Davidson, Gus loved life. His friends brought great joy and happiness to his life. The Highwood & Old Station neighbors, golfing buddies and boaters were always sharing laughs with Gus. Working at 1 st National Bank of Southwestern Ohio for over 30 years was a source of pride and accomplishment. Many co-workers and customers became life-long friends who made a difference in Gus’ life. Family parties, watching his grandkids have fun, and spending time with his ‘girls’ were among Gus’ favorite moments. The love between Dottie and Gus was undeniable. There simply weren’t two better people in this world. To all who were friends of Gus, THANK YOU!
