Guy was born in Springtown, Texas on March 14, 1911. After graduating from Texas A&M University in 1933, he spent two years as a radio operator on a scientific expedition to Antarctica. Upon his return, he worked for CBS in New York for ten years. During this time, he married Ruth Beal from Palestine, Texas. They had been married 58 years when she passed away on October 18, 1996. In 1945, Guy and his family returned to Texas where he started a consulting engineering office in Arlington. He was an active member of the First United Methodist Church, the Downtown Rotary Club and the Masonic Lodge. He also served on the Arlington School Board for 19 years. Hutcheson Junior High School is named in his honor. The leader of Guy's Antarctic Expedition, Admiral Richard Byrd, described him as "The most serene, the most undisturbed, and certainly one of the most decent minds I have ever met". His family agrees with this sentiment. He was a constant figure in their lives and though he will be missed, his example and his memory will remain with them forever. Survivors: Daughters, Betty Barringer and husband, Van of Dallas, and Ann Hightower and husband, John of Arlington; grandsons, Bill Carroll and wife, Sandra, Jon Carroll, Carlton Hightower and Brantley Hightower; granddaughter, Caroline Carroll. He is also survived by Bailey and Margaret Rose - his loving canine companions. Arlington Funeral Home 1221 E. Division St (817) 548-1791
