Guy R. Ketch Jr.

A legendary teacher that will never be forgotten! He had a tremendous impact on us. Legend!

Mr. Ketch set a fine example of leaving a legacy as an example of who he was and will always be. He touched all he met with a caring and open heart. He showed great concern for his students and genuinely wanted to see them succeed.

Will Rogers once said that you must judge a man's greatness by how much he will be missed. By that standard, Mr. Ketch was one of the greatest.

My heartfelt condolences to Guy's family.The teaching community really has lost a teaching icon in Guy.Even though I never actually had him as my teacher, I had the pleasure of his acquaintance while I was in high school. He was only 9 years older than me when I graduated from Hamburg in 1972. It was always a pleasure to talk to him , he always took time for all the students even if he wasn't their teacher.Whether stopping to chat in the hall or during study periods. I remember him always...

Thoughts and Prayers to the family!

For many years, I was fortunate to have worked with Guy at HAHS. As a colleague and educator, he was outstanding and we were all lucky to have Guy at our side. I remember Guy as a true gentleman, in the truest sense of the word--always gracious, reliable, and supportive. His smile would brighten any room. Guy was selfless in his devotion to his students, spending hours, day after day, giving extra help. He was a marvel. The entire community has benefitted from his dedication and commitment. ...

Pat, Michael & Kristen, I am so sorry for your loss. Your husband and father was not just a great teacher, but he was also a great friend and role model to many. He loved life and truly cared about his students and treated us all like friends or family. It was truly my privilege to have known him and love him as my teacher and my friend. He touched and impacted so many lives and he will be truly missed by many.
