I was born and grew up in Bridgeport, and went to Maplewood School with Guy. We both lived in the Elmwood Apts on Fairfield Avenue in the fifties. Now a senior living in NY State, I periodically look back on my life and the people I grew up with. Very nice to read that Guy distinguished himself in many honorable and life affirming ways in his lifetime.
Rest in peace.

No truer words were spoken about Guy - He was a good man with a caring, compassionate, fun loving heart. He will forever be apart of all my good memories of serving together in Panama on medical mission trips. Guys love for people reached far beyond his home. Thank you Guy for sharing your love with Mike and I. Martha we love you to pieces and pray for you each day. Guy will truly be missed. Love Chris aka GAP
