I was shocked and deeply saddened by the news of my cousins death. My mother, Josephine, Guy's first cousin, passed last Sept. He and my mother were like brothers and sisters. I hope they have been reunited in heaven. I have a huge family out there I would love to communicate with. Please email me at [email protected].
With love and best wishes. Barbara

Dr. Guarnaccia was such a wonderful, caring dentist that even though I moved to Amherst, NH in 1985, I still kept driving to Stoneham twice a year until he retired! His warm personality made me feel like I was visiting with family. My condolences to his wife and children.

I was shocked and saddened to learn of his passing. He was our family dentist for many years in Stoneham, and also a family friend for years after that. I have many fond memories of him in our insurance office as he and my father
planned some of the many association activities that he was involved in. He called our office just last week to let us know of the move to CT. My thoughts and prayers are with the family at this time.

The loss of someone so close is difficult to bear. I share your grief. I was Dr. Guys assistant in concord and I was so sorry to hear. Please know that he was very much loved in many way. He loved his family so much even though I never met any of you I do feel like I know you all. He was and is so proud of all of you. I am so glad that I had a chance to have him in my life he was kind, funny, hard working, and just a wonderful man. I will miss him very much.

Dr Guy was my favorite Dentist to work with. I told him he should write a book of all his stories about growing up in Boston. I had the pleasure of working with him in MCI Concord. I'm very sad to hear of his leaving the earth, but I know he will enjoy his next adventure in Heaven, and maybe he can send us some blessing from Heaven. I know his family will miss him dearly. I only had a brief time with him in his later years but he somehow made everyone feel as if we knew him a lifetime. He was a great man and my thoughts go to his wife, children, and grandchildren. Sincerely, Janice Buddenhagen, (his dental assistant).
