As we say our goodbye’s and run through our beautiful memories, we will always remember how he would always want to go to the lake where his heart was always content, taking his family fishing and teaching his grandchildren to not be afraid of baiting that hook with that slimy ol’ worm, If we caught anything or not that wasn’t the reason we all went. It’s all about spending time with family because tomorrow is never promised. We took it a day at a time.

Guy was a great baseball and softball coach to many. He also played baseball and softball like a pro! We enjoyed hearing about and going to his games. Guy has a lot of friends and family that are going to miss him terribly. We will never forget everything he did for us. He is up in heaven having a joyful reunion with his family and friends.

We really hope that he found that beautiful lake with the silver boat, the silver lining and those golden fishing rods up in that beautiful sky where the fish always bite. You’re no longer suffering, no longer in pain and in a better place. We will always love you. Until we meet again.
