    I met Guy briefly about two years ago. I could see he was a dignified, quiet man, and loved deeply by Judy. His strength of character could not be missed, he was a Good Man. We are blessed to have had him in our lives.

    My husband Craig left a message above which pretty much summarizes my feelings as well. I would also like to add how talented he was. One of the things we enjoyed the most is the videos he would put together after one of their trips. They were delightful with wonderful music. We could almost believe we had been with them. We will mis him tremendously but he will be in our hearts forever.

    Guy was my oldest male friend. Always the teacher. Always the competitor, We use to autocross race Corvettes together. No matter what I did to improve, he'd beat me every time. He invited me to his graduation party in Pennsylvania. But what he really wanted was for me to see his new stunning girlfriend, Judy Reiker. He's responsible for introducing Florida to my wife and I, and ultimately our permanent relocation from Portland Oregon. One of our best adventures was the 4 of us sailing the Andaman Sea out of Thailand. My life without Guy will be different. Hopefully I can hook up with him in Heaven. He will be greatly missed.

    I have only met Guy a few times and Judy even less; however, I remember all of those times with great fondness. We met mostly at family picnics and we would reconnect. His smile, his quick wit, kindness to others and infectious smile are images and thoughts that I will remember. With deep sympathy to Judy and family, Susan Zimmer.

    Guy was a great friend to both Sandy and I. We will miss his wit and humor and friendship. It was an honor to be named his "first mate" on our many sailing adventures and races.
