Not sure what to say?

I found this picture in my mom's things.

Will Miss Mr. Guy , and His Blue Christmas On The Piano.
He Has that Crown On Now, Behold Heaven Has An Angel.
He Knew He was Loved.

Uncle Guy was one of a kind! So, so generous! So kind and light hearted. Made the best Shrimp Po'boys and always served the freshest oysters on the half shell. Uncle Guy wasn't just a good uncle, he was a fantastic person! His musical skills, sense of humor and unmatched generosity wasn't to impress others, but was just authentic Uncle Guy. I will miss him dearly, but I am so happy for him now. We love you Uncle Guy, thank you for everything you did for all of us as well as the unique...

Uncle Guy was my favorite Uncle, always loving, kind, knowledgeable and an awesome piano player. I remember I could sit for hours watching and listening to him play the piano. He also made the best oyster po'boy. Now your home in heaven with all your brothers, sisters and Dad and Mom.

If you get a prayer for all your kindness and generosity, they would be countless. Love you cousin, Guy, keep on rocking. Grace & Bob

Our families have been friends for over 100 years. Guy was a very talented musician and a very kind and thoughtful man. If you left one of his business hungry or thirsty-it was your own fault. We all miss Guy!

He's been an old standard for AMITE for as long as I can remember hearing him. My dad always liked him and they would talk frequently rehashing stories of the past. RIP!

In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will love you and miss you always.

Sorry about mr guy god bless
