Oh My, I am deeply saddened to hear of George's passing, though it has almost been a year since his passing, I just found out and though I haven't seen him for quite sometime, it is still a shock!! Funny thing is , George has been on my mind lately, so much I even thought of calling him. I sure have some wonderful and funny memories of George. I also have some very loving and beautiful heart to heart talks with him. I considered George to be a very special, close friend. My heart goes out to the Guy family, his wife and countless blessings of strength to his three children. May God Bless You All and I send Sincere Love and Sympathy. I know he is missed by many. I Love You Ole Buddy of Mine. Cindy Burke

A wonderful man, taken way to soon. Apple picking, boating and tubing holding the tow rope in his teeth, tagging Christmas trees and dealing with icy driveways, so many great memories. May we be strengthened by the memories until we "Sea ya" again. Love and prayers to Jill, Abbi, Seth and Lance.

My deepest sympathy to Jill and the whole
Guy family. My heart sobs.
Once asked George, ''Why are you not naming your new boat Jilly Bean"? You know the
Jilly Bean always got us home safe.
No, the new boat will be the Sea Ya!
Thanks Jill for getting George home safe.
To my dear friend Capt George. Sea Ya!
