Gwen and Family, I can't believe that it is already a year since last we saw Guy. It is still fresh in our minds the last time you guys were over and we still find it hard that he left us so soon. We think about you both often and look forward to seeing you over Christmas.

I first met Guy when we lived in an apartment at 180 Murray Street in lower town Ottawa. We were coming into the building and Guy was on a ladder painting, or changing a light bulb or some such thing. He was the concierge of the building. This was in the summer of 1969. We exchanged pleasantries, such as, "Hey, get out of the way." With a response like, "Hold your horses, I'll be done in a minute." We were young newlyweds and so were Guy and Gwen. We became fast friends. Many a night we would play Rimoli for pennies with Guy, Gwen, Chris, Denis and Larry and Pat. We alternated between apartments. The host supplied the chips and coke and we all brought our $1.50 worth of pennies. Nobody could lose more than that. This went on for many years.
Guy was the only person I know that painted the walls in his apartment in lower town with mis-tinted car paint. I have never seen such shiny walls. Guy also taught me how to paint as well. He got a contract to paint his partner Guy's, house (yes same name so our Guy was known as Fred at the time) and I joined him. We got it all done and it looked beautiful. No car paint was used there though.
When Guy and Gwen moved to the farm that they live in today, Guy and I went together and raised pigs for slaughter. Well, really Gwen raised the pigs. We shared the cost of the pigs and the feed but Gwen was the one that fed and watered them. Then when the time came we went to the neighbour's and prepared it for the butcher. I would have done that with chickens and ducks too except that Gwen tended to adopt them and keep them as pets so I was never sure if she would have let us butcher them. Does Adam, the calf ring a bell?
Guy, Larry and I attended the Grey Cup games for several years while I was stationed at Carp. We would go to the club to watch the games and the girls would meet at our place. Then after the game we would all end up at one place or another. One time Larry and I were home having supper when Gwen phoned to find out where Guy was. She was sure that I was lying when I told her he wasn't at our place. So, Larry and I went and traced the route that he would have taken to get home. Sure enough, Guy was in his truck, asleep on the side of the road. He figured he had a bit too much to drink to drive so was letting some time pass before he went home.
When our first son Steve was born, Guy and Gwen were right there with us at the hospital. As Steve got a little older, he started to shy away from Guy. As soon as Guy grew the beard Steve went to him right away. So, in a way, Steve is the reason that Guy had a beard.
One of our favourite times together was when Guy and Gwen came to Gander, NF to visit us. They were on their way to New Brunswick for Guy's mother's 80th birthday so they thought, what the heck, a few more hours on the road. It was a great visit. Although Mike was working, Guy, Gwen and Marie went to Twillingate to get some fresh lobsters. Guy talked to the lobsterman and got an excellent price and had they had another day or two, Guy would have gone to sea with the lobsterman, at least one time.
Mike took Guy to a stream that he knew of about 15 minutes' walk into the woods. In two hours they caught over 80 trout between 8 and 10 inches long. They packed them up and Guy took them to New Brunswick when they left in the morning. In the meantime, they drove out to Mike's worksite. On the way, off to the side of the road was a mother cow moose with two babies just lying in the ditch beside the road. What a great visit.
Guy and Larry bought a 16ft fiberglass canoe and we three spent many hours on the Mississippi river catching bass and pike. One weekend we decided to go up to Barry's Bay to catch some lake trout. We left our place at around midnight and arrived as the sun was coming up. We put the canoe into the water, Larry on one seat, Guy on the other and me in the middle. We had planned to live on the fish that we would catch but at the last minute one of the ladies suggested that we take some canned beans along with us, just in case we didn't catch the fish that we were sure that we would catch. That was the best advice we got that weekend since we didn't catch one fish.
I can't tell you how many times we played euchre into the wee hours of the morning. Guy and Mike were always partners against Marie and Gwen. Of course Guy and Mike always won. One of the possible reasons was that they would insist on playing until they had won.
We were blessed that on Saturday, they had been at a craft show in Orleans and decided to drop in to see us on their way home. We spent a few hours together chatting about all sorts of things. It was a great shock when Gwen called to tell us of Guy's passing but a blessing that they had stopped by. We will surely miss him.

I am sure I speak on behalf many members of the Pakenham Hort Society when I say how much we are going to miss Guy at our meetings and outings. Gwen and Guy were recently awarded the Ontario Horticultural Association District Service Award for their countless volunteer hours in the club. Whether he was driving people, picking up plants, touring gardens or helping with the plant sale, he always did so in cheerful manner. Rest in peace Guy.

We will never forget the many times we were together whether it be Ottawa or Gander,NF. Guy was a really special person that will leave a hole in many people's heart.

Guy was one of a kind for sure. I am so honoured to have gotten to know both of you these past two years. Two years that have been filled with a lifetime of memories. You both have meant so much to me. Loved Guy's stories, his smile, his generosity to help out anytime, anywhere. Together you were a couple like no other. Guy was one of the good ones! I miss him already.

Dear Gwen, I am so very sorry for your loss. I only knew Guy for a very short time, but over the last 6 months getting to know him was an absolute pleasure. His many stories will remain in my memory for years to come. He definitely made a huge impact on my life, and showed me such compassion and kindness. I thought of him as a father figure, and I loved being able to get a drive with him every other day. My heart goes out to you Gwen, and you are in my thoughts and prayers.
