Mr. Wilfred Guy, Sr., aka 'Jr Boy', 'Big Scooter', a devoted son, father, grandfather, brother, uncle, friend and teacher, departed this life on Friday, May 26, 2023 at 12:15 pm. 'Big Scooter' was born on May 14, 1946 to the late Buddy and Eva P. Guy in New Orleans, LA. He was baptized at the age of 9, but his life and spiritual journey led him to the Muslim faith.
