Augustus "Gus" Dibble Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

Augustus “Gus” P. Dibble, 74, passed away on May 15, 2022 surrounded by his family following a lengthy illness. Born and raised in Simsbury, Connecticut, Gus was the son of the late Augustus Jerome and Patronala Marcella (Novitsky) Dibble. Gus was a graduate of Simsbury Memorial High School, and went on to earn his Bachelors Degree at the University of Connecticut. During his time at UCONN, Gus was a proud member of Army ROTC, where he was affectionately known as “Augie Doggie” and rose to the rank of Captain ahead of his peers by his Sophomore year. Gus enjoyed reminiscing and sharing stories of his time spent in color guard, armed drill IDR, freestyle drill (Charter Oak Rifles) and drill exhibition. Gus was also a proud member of the Alpha Phi Omega National Service Fraternity. Following college, Gus became licensed as a Certified Public Accountant and a Certified Fraud Examiner. Thereafter, he worked as a Senior Auditor to the Connecticut Legislature and later served as the Chief Financial Examiner for the Connecticut Department of Revenue. After becoming a born-again Christian, Gus pivoted his career to helping those in need and worked as the Business Manager of Northeast Kingdom Mental Health, the Director of Fiscal Services at Children’s Choice and the Chief Financial Officer at Ranch Hope. Outside of work, Gus donated his time in many capacities. In addition to coaching his children’s sports teams, Gus volunteered with many organizations, including a prison outreach program, The Fold (a Christ-centered residential care program for teens and families in crisis) and as an elected member of the Alloway Township Board of Education. Those who knew Gus understood that he was a constant friend to anyone in need and would help those around him whenever possible. In his free time, Gus enjoyed bowling, attending church, fellowshipping with friends, reading the Bible and trout fishing in Connecticut and Vermont’s scenic Northeast Kingdom. Gus is survived by his wife of 38 years Betsy Lynn (Pulito) Dibble; his two children Nicholas Augustus Dibble (Melissa) and Stephanie Lynn Dibble Rouse (Dave Bannis); his sister Sally Robinson (Scott); and his three loving grandchildren Lorenzo Augustus Rouse, Olivia Frances Dibble, and Benjamin Augustus Dibble. A Celebration of Life will be held on Tuesday, May 24, 2022 at Adams Funeral Home, 64 Broad St., Woodstown, NJ 08098. Visitation with the family will begin at 6 PM, with the memorial service following at 7 PM. Weather permitting, all are invited afterward to join the family at Cream Valley Custard (195 East Ave., Woodstown, NJ 08098) for a soft serve, just as Gus would have wanted!
