Guss, QC, a man long prominent in legal and community affairs in Saint John, died at the Saint John Regional Hospital Monday after a brief illness. He was 79. Mr. Guss was a former Family Court judge and was a pioneer in legal aid in the province.

He was called to the New Brunswick Bar in 1930. He was appointed a Queen's Council in 1952 and a Master of the Supreme Court a year later. He served as legal counsel for the Saint John County Council for 10 years, and drafted over 100 pieces of legislation on behalf of the municipality for presentation to the Legislature. He was appointed a Probate Court judge and subsequently became a judge of the Provincial Court's family division, retiring from the post in 1974. He also served as the Federal Court of Canada's regional administrator in Saint John. Mr. Guss was also administrator of deregulation for New Brunswick, in which capacity he reviewed the over 500 regulations in the province's laws and eliminated the regulations which were redundant or illegal. He also headed the royal commission set up by the provincial government and wrote the resulting report on which New Brunswick's hospital insurance scheme was based. Mr. Guss was the founding chairman of the Canadian Bar Association's legal aid committee and the first chairman of the legal aid committees of the Barristers' Society of New Brunswick and the Saint John Law Society. He served as chairman of the New Brunswick Advisory Board on Legal Aid. He also served on the CBA's council for over 30 years and a former president of the Saint John Law Society. He was honorary life president of the New Brunswick Competitive Festival of Music and of the Saint John Community Concerts Association.

He served as a director of Rotary International, a member of Rotary's world fellowship committee and a district governor, committee member and director. He was also a past president of the Rotary Club of Saint John. He was president, and later honorary president of the Saint John College Development Corporation, which played a major role in the establishment of the University of New Brunswick in Saint John. Mr. Guss also served as Dutch counsel for New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island, stepping down from the post in 1972. In 1972, he was honored by the Saint John Jewish community for his work on behalf of the State of Israel, and by the Boys' Clubs of Canada for outstanding service to boys.
