Guy Brungardt was my "first" boss at Tastee Freeze in Albuquerque, NM. My twin sister and I both worked for him during our high school years at West Mesa High (1972-74). We had a great time and have great memories working there with Mark and Linda. We were sad to hear of his death. Our deepest sympathy to his family. Lorraine Maes- Lewis and Marilyn Maes- Peterson

John and I will miss our neighbor, Guy. He was one of a kind! He always had a smile and a friendly greeting. He and Ace always brightened our day.

I worked for Guy when I was a junior in high school in 1969-70,at Guy's Tastee Freeze on West Central in Albuquerque. He was a good boss and to this day think he had the best taco's in town. Guy owned another Tastee Freeze right off I-40 and Coors in Albuquerque that I would frequent when I was older, just to eat those darn taco's. I don't mean to sound irreverent, but what I wouldn't give for the recipe for the taco meat. Blessings and Peace to you Guy.
