This division started combat on Christmas day of 1944 in the "Battle of the Bulge." Guy received three battle stars for taking part in three major combats: Battle of the Ardennes, Rhineland Battle, and the Central Europe Battle. He was one of the last remaining WWII survivors. A true hero!

Guy married Joy Luthi on June 17, 1960 in the Idaho Falls, Idaho Temple. Together they celebrated 49 years of marriage and were blessed with three children. Guy worked in the furniture business for Boyle Furniture. While located in Blackfoot, Guy and Joy welcomed their first child, Ann. Later the family moved to Salt Lake City, Utah where they welcomed their second child, Sally. The family then moved to Logan where he worked again in the furniture business for Lundstrom Furniture. Several years later they welcomed their third child, Scott. Guy then changed professions and spent the rest of his working career in the life insurance business as an agent.

Guy joined The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints while attending Idaho State University. He served in many callings. In particular, he enjoyed serving as the ward financial clerk for 20 years.

Guy enjoyed being in the outdoors while hunting, fishing and of course golfing. He still swung a golf club at the age of 96 with a small group of friends. Guy also loved and looked forward to watching sporting events. He was passionate about the Utah Jazz and the Utah State Aggies. His greatest pleasure was watching his grandson's play sports such as basketball, soccer, and baseball.

Guy was the most kind and loving father and grandfather anyone could ever hope for. He was a blessing to all who knew him. We will miss you greatly!
