Family and friends from near and abroad joined together to remember August \u201cGus\u201d De Hertogh at the J C Raulston Arboretum in Raleigh, NC, on Saturday, March 16, 2019. Gus passed away on October 26, 2018.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In all, nearly 200 attended the event on a perfect spring afternoon. It was only fitting that event featured beautiful tulips and other florals, generously provided by industry members that Gus worked so closely with for decades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The program, emceed by Dr. Elliot Engel, a longtime friend of Gus and Mary Belle, provided great stories about the impact Gus made on the bulb industry throughout the world. Family and friends shared stories about this great family man, an industry researcher, and friend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/endowment.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/imported-files\/IMG_1141-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11526\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cGus&nbsp;was a very important person to the national and international floriculture industry. But more than that, he was an important mentor and friend to dozens of people that he encountered professionally in academia and the industry,\u201d said Debbie Hamrick. \u201cEvery time we see a pot bulb or cut bulb crop in the greenhouse, field or at retail, we can thank him for developing the research-based production protocols to make that market possible. He was instrumental in creating millions of dollars of new sales of bulb products for floricultural producers the world over. It was an honor to have him as a mentor and to call him a friend.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignright\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/endowment.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/imported-files\/IMG_5168-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11525\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cApart from his professional life, Gus was a loving husband, father, and grandfather,\u201d says his wife, Mary Belle. \u201cOur loss is immeasurable. Forever we will celebrate his goodness, his generosity, and his love.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"color: #c40003;\"><strong>A memorial tribute has been established
