Guy Mattei

Guy, a son-in-law everyone wishes for and we were so fortunate to be one of them. It was a pleasure to see his happy approach and expression to life in his devotion to our daughter and his life works.

Guy was a brilliant and creative man. More important he was a loving husband and friend who will be lovingly remembered and sorely missed.

One fascinating fellow.My condolences to the family.

Eileen, you have our deepest sympathy. Guy lived life to the fullest, fought a tough battle (never to give up) and now has his reward! Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

This was a gifted young man. Always ready to challenge tasks and able to present outstanding results. Although presenting himself as a gruff outspoken individual, he had the heart of an artist and poet. Always amazed at the beautiful metal and woodwork he produced. I'm sure he will find a way to beautify the gates of heaven.

I will always remember the beautiful metal sculpture and other decorative pieces you created, never forgetting your talent. You and Eileen have meant so much to me.
