Guy Cole Obituary

Guy M. Cole, 74

Webster - Guy M. Cole, 74, died Thursday, January 18, 2018 in Hubbard at Harrington Hospital. His wife of 35 years, Adele A. (Langlois) Cole died in 2014.

He leaves behind his best friend and loyal companion his dog Toby; 3 step-children, Julie L. Sterczala and her fiancé Robert E. Lee, Lorene M. and her husband James Gouin and Glenn A. Bacon, Jr. all of Webster; a daughter, Diane Cole and a grandson Adrian of Vancouver, WA; 3 grandchildren, Kelly L. and her husband Rich Barnaby, Stephen L. and his wife Katie Sterczala and Jenna E. Gouin; 3 great-grandchildren, Abby, Richie and Logan. He was predeceased by his brother, George Cole.

He was born in Hartford, Connecticut, a son of George and Estelle D. (Kogut) Cole.

He served in the United States Army during the Vietnam Era.

Mr. Cole worked as a corrections officer at the Somers State Prison in Connecticut before his retirement in 1998.

Guy enjoyed life, whether it was listening to an Irish band at McGuirk's, or his other favorite places on Hampton Beach, walking his dog around Webster, or taking a drive to Foxwoods to try his luck. His greatest enjoyment was vacations spent with his wife and family, especially the yearly trips to Disney World and Hampton Beach throughout the childhood of his grandchildren.

In addition to all the big trips, our memories are full of all the times he made us laugh with his quirky ways. Guy was a great friend to many. He was friendly and fun to be around and will be missed dearly by his family.

A celebration of life will be held on February 17, 2018 at 1:00 P.M. in the Kosciuszko Society (Bush Hall) 10 Dresser St., Webster. Funeral arrangements are under the direction of Scanlon Funeral Service, 38 East Main St., Webster, MA.

Wow how time flies. Just a small little note. Your daughter Diane and your grandson Adrian are doing very well Adrian‘s 10 now. He’s in the gifted program and he does a lot of sports. I receive a calendar yearly with all of his activities. He just got done donating 12 inches of hair for a classmate that has cancer. This is a remarkable kid. I hope you’re watching over them with a smile on your face.

I worked with Guy for a time, he was always quick with a joke. He and Toby would come into the store on his days off, Toby got slim Jim's for a treat. He will be missed by me and many people, who got to know him. RIP Guy

I met Guy Cole when I was 16 years old he was a little on the heavy side but he was always crazy and always had bad jokes. I nicknamed him the saggy baggy elephant. He lost a lot of weight and I'd like to assume that it was because of me picking on him for being overweight. He was a great guy even though our relationship was short and sweet I always had good thoughts of him. He is my sisters father diane cole, it was really great to have him come out and visit Diane for the first time it was too bad they lived on opposite sides of the United States and didn't get to spend the time together. He would've loved Adrian sometimes I think Adrian has his mannerism, rest in peace Guy we will all miss you !
