He is the brother of the late Ilona Kreeger Veres (1954 \u2013 2016), \u00a0and is survived by his brothers L\u00e1szl\u00f3 (Baltimore, MD) and Joseph P. (Anita) (Middleburg Heights, OH); his nephew Eric A. Veres; and his nieces Lili O. and J\u00falia A. Veres.<\/p>\n<p>The funeral services for Guszt\u00e1v will be held on May 7, 2016 at Bodnar &#8211; Mahoney Funeral Home on 3929 Lorain Rd, Cleveland, OH, and interment at Sunset Memorial Park, on Columbia Rd., 6265 Columbia Rd., North Olmsted, OH.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Biography<\/p>\n<p>As an 18 year old student at the Budapest Academy of Fine Arts in 1956, Guszt\u00e1v took part in the peaceful demonstrations against the oppressive Communist Hungarian government, which ultimately led to the Hungarian Revolution against the Soviet terror and the military occupation of Hungary. After the Soviet army brutally crushed the popular uprising, Guszt\u00e1v with his parents and family of three younger siblings emigrated to Austria, where they lived for 2\u00bd years. In 1959, the Catholic Charities sponsored his family to emigrate to Buffalo, New York, where he continued his higher education in fine arts at the University of Buffalo. After receiving a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in 1962, Guszt\u00e1v launched his career in Buffalo, where he was an artist illustrator at several manufacturing and medical companies, as well as the Buffalo &amp; Erie County Public Library until 1965.<\/p>\n<p>In 1965 Guszt\u00e1v was appointed as an Artist \u2013 Illustrator and Visual Information Specialist in the Printed Material Department, at the United States Government Printing Office (GPO), in Washington, D. C. Throughout most of his 20+ years of working for the GPO, he was promoted to the highest level in the Printed Material Department, where he was the chief graphics designer of numerous U.S. government issued books, signs, charts, U.S. stamps, and Congressional certificates. He utilized his academic background in fine arts and\u00a0 his artistic skills to produce\u00a0 camera-ready proofs, often with custom elaborate hand painted caligraphic\u00a0lettering, which became one of his numerous graphic design specialties. Some of his noteable achievements include the graphic design of the seal on the reverse side of the U.S. Bicentennial Passport. Guszt\u00e1v also produced the graphic design for the commemorative book that President Richard Nixon gave to Chairman Mao Tse Tung, during his historic trip to China.<\/p>\n<p>In 1981 Guszt\u00e1v retired from the GPO due to an injury caused by an unfortunate accident, and later moved to Cleveland, Ohio in 1992. Guszt\u00e1v was a member of Saint Emeric Hungarian Church for over 24 years, and was an active supporter in the effort to reverse Bishop Lennon\u2019s highly unpopular decision to permanently close the church. While the church was in limbo with its doors locked to its members, Guszt\u00e1v with about 20 other members refused to accept the Bishop\u2019s decision to close St. Emeric. For 2\u00bd years Guszt\u00e1v and the other members faithfully held impromptu church services outside the shuttered doors every Sunday, until 2012, when the decision was made by the Pope to reverse Bishop Lennon\u2019s decision, and St. Emeric was open once again to serve its members.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bocskairadio.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Gus1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-22722 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/spcdn.shortpixel.ai\/spio\/ret_img,q_cdnize,to_webp,s_webp\/www.bocskairadio.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Gus1-240x300.jpg\" alt=\"Gus1\" width=\"240\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/spcdn.shortpixel.ai\/spio\/ret_img,q_cdnize,to_webp,s_webp\/www.bocskairadio.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Gus1-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/spcdn.shortpixel.ai\/spio\/ret_img,q_cdnize,to_webp,s_webp\/www.bocskairadio.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Gus1-336x420.jpg 336w, https:\/\/spcdn.shortpixel.ai\/spio\/ret_img,q_cdnize,to_webp,s_webp\/www.bocskairadio.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Gus1.jpg 512w, https:\/\/spcdn.shortpixel.ai\/spio\/ret_img,q_cdnize,to_webp,s_webp\/www.bocskairadio.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Gus1-768x960.jpg 768w, https:\/\/spcdn.shortpixel.ai\/spio\/ret_img,q_cdnize,to_webp,s_webp\/www.bocskairadio.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Gus1-480x600.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 240px) 100vw, 240px\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bocskairadio.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Gus2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-22724 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/spcdn.shortpixel.ai\/spio\/ret_img,q_cdnize,to_webp,s_webp\/www.bocskairadio.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Gus2-240x300.jpg\" alt=\"Gus2\" width=\"240\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/spcdn.shortpixel.ai\/spio\/ret_img,q_cdnize,to_webp,s_webp\/www.bocskairadio.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Gus2-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/spcdn.shortpixel.ai\/spio\/ret_img,q_cdnize,to_webp,s_webp\/www.bocskairadio.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Gus2-336x420.jpg 336w, https:\/\/spcdn.shortpixel.ai\/spio\/ret_img,q_cdnize,to_webp,s_webp\/www.bocskairadio.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Gus2.jpg 434w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 240px) 100vw, 240px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Gust\u00e1v passed away unexpectedly in his sleep on April 21, 2016.

In 1959, the Catholic Charities sponsored his family to emigrate to Buffalo, New York, where he continued his higher education in fine arts at the University of Buffalo. After receiving a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in 1962, Guszt\u00e1v launched his career in Buffalo, where he was an artist illustrator at several manufacturing and medical companies, as well as the Buffalo &amp; Erie County Public Library until 1965.  In 1965 Guszt\u00e1v was appointed as an Artist \u2013 Illustrator and Visual Information Specialist in the Printed Material Department, at the United States Government Printing Office (GPO), in Washington, D. C. Throughout most of his 20+ years of working for the GPO, he was promoted to the highest level in the Printed Material Department, where he was the chief graphics designer of numerous U.S. government issued books, signs, charts, U.S. stamps, and Congressional certificates. He utilized his academic background in fine arts and\u00a0 his artistic skills to produce\u00a0 camera-ready proofs, often with custom elaborate hand painted caligraphic\u00a0lettering, which became one of his numerous graphic design specialties. Some of his noteable achievements include the graphic design of the seal on the reverse side of the U.S. Bicentennial Passport. Guszt\u00e1v also produced the graphic design for the commemorative book that President Richard Nixon gave to Chairman Mao Tse Tung, during his historic trip to China.  In 1981 Guszt\u00e1v retired from the GPO due to an injury caused by an unfortunate accident, and later moved to Cleveland, Ohio in 1992. Guszt\u00e1v was a member of Saint Emeric Hungarian Church for over 24 years, and was an active supporter in the effort to reverse Bishop Lennon\u2019s highly unpopular decision to permanently close the church. While the church was in limbo with its doors locked to its members, Guszt\u00e1v with about 20 other members refused to accept the Bishop\u2019s decision to close St. Emeric. For 2\u00bd years Guszt\u00e1v and the other members faithfully held impromptu church services outside the shuttered doors every Sunday, until 2012, when the decision was made by the Pope to reverse Bishop Lennon\u2019s decision, and St. Emeric was open once again to serve its members.","og_url":"https:\/\/www.bocskairadio.org\/en\/gusztav-j-veres-obituary\/","og_site_name":"Bocskai R\u00e1di\u00f3","article_publisher":"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/BocskaiRadio","article_published_time":"2016-05-02T23:16:41+00:00","article_modified_time":"2016-05-02T23:47:43+00:00","og_image":[{"url":"https:\/\/www.bocskairadio.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Gus1-240x300.jpg","type":"","width":"","height":""}],"author":"Hargitai Istv\u00e1n","twitter_card":"summary_large_image","twitter_creator":"@BocskaiRadio","twitter_site":"@BocskaiRadio","schema":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Article","@id":"https:\/\/www.bocskairadio.org\/en\/gusztav-j-veres-obituary\/#article","isPartOf":{"@id":"https:\/\/www.bocskairadio.org\/en\/gusztav-j-veres-obituary\/"},"author":{"name":"Hargitai Istv\u00e1n","@id":"https:\/\/www.bocskairadio.org\/en\/#\/schema\/person\/6cbe8ea8388116f6941a0c3ce8f8ec1b"},"headline":"Guszt\u00e1v J.
