Gaylord married the former Carol LaValley on January 2, 1965 in Beekmantown, NY. Together they shared 60 wonderful years of marriage. He started working as a toll collector for the Rouses Point bridge and then went to work as a truck driver for the New York State Department of Transportation for many years until his retirement. Gaylord loved being in nature, hunting and fishing as well as tending to his flowers and gardening with his loving wife. He also found great joy caring for his feline and canine babies.
Survivors include his loving wife, Carol Guay; daughter Shawn (Brett) Boucher; brother, James and (Mae) Guay, sister-in-law, Janeen Guay; grandchildren, Addison Boucher and Abigail Boucher; and several nieces and nephews.
Gaylord was predeceased by his son, Randy Guay; and brothers, Aaron Guay and Maurice "Nick" Guay.
A graveside service will take place Friday, September 5th at 1:00 p.m. at the Town of Ellenburg Mausoleum in Ellenburg Depot.
