Guy's life was one of dedication and service.

An enthusiast of the great outdoors and a passionate gardener, Guy annually tended to a pumpkin patch for his children and grandchildren to revel in its beauty. His love for nature extended to raising beagles and being an active member of the Ulster Heights Beagle Club, Neversink Beagles Club, and The Long Falls Association.

He is survived by the love of his life Paulette Catino Marks whom he married on December 18, 1965, their daughters; Alisa Fries (Brian), Deanna Vaughan (James), and Ginger Stickles (Stephen Stickles Sr.). His memory will forever be cherished by his grandchildren Brian, Breanne, Danielle, Morgan, Stephen, and Alayna. Guy is also survived by his brothers William Marks and Phillip Marks with his wife Betty along with many nieces and nephews.

In addition to his parents, Guy was predeceased by his brother Robert Marks.
