To Guy's Family,
I am sad to read of Guy's passing. I met Guy at an Illinois Valley Railroad Club swap meet at Illinois Central College in 1986. Guy was selling stock in his Pioneer Railrad. His goal was to buy the old Rock Island Keller branch that ran to Pioneer Park. It would be years later, after starting other railroads, that Guy would get to run trains on the Keller branch. I hope your many happy memories will help you get through this most difficult time. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

I met Guy in 1986 and were friends since then because of Pioneer Railcorp. He will be missed greatly.
