Guy was my eigth grade teacher and coach at Holy Trinity School in Bucyrus. He was truly a remarkable person. I will always remember his ready smile, the whackin' he laid on my behind in the health room, and how he really didn't get mad when we broke his kitchen window during a spoon game that got out of hand. He was also a huge New York Jets fan. Not many people know it but he actually had the school colors changed for a short while to green and white. He will be missed by many, many people. I am one.

Brenda, I am truly sorry for your loss. I was so impressed at what a great person Guy was to bring you all the way to Vienna WV and then back home again so we could have a week's visit. He acted as if he was only driving you across town. I liked him immediately and know he surely must have had a lot of friends. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this sorrowful time. May God bless.

I want to extent my deepest regrets to the family with the passing of Guy. It has been a pleasure to have known him the short time I have while his teams have played at the National Unified Championships the past years.

I will always remember his smiling face as he coached his teams at the Championships.

We have lost a very special man.

My deepest sympathies.

Please accept our condolences,

Brenda and kids-We will not be able to come to the funeral but want you to know the BIG impact Guy made on our lives. It was a real pleasure to work with him. He made our job so much easier. We could look forward to Christmas and birthday cards from him and you. He was in our thoughts and prayers as you will be now. He will be sadly missed. The Mankey's

Brenda,
I was shocked when Brian called to tell me about Guy. I figured something was not right when we didn't get a Xmas card this year. Words cannot express what our feelings are for him for everything he has done for so many over the years. Without a doubt one of the nicest men we have ever met. His reward awaits him for sure.
I am so sorry that we couldn't attend the services for we surely wanted to, but just like Guy, I am still involved in coaching, (Crestline High School girls varsity softball) and we have a doubleheader on Saturday. As I stand on the field I will look up to the heavens above and pay my respects. I am sure he will know. May all of gods blessings be upon you and your family, and hopefully we can stay in touch.

God bless,

I was extremely saddened to hear about Guy's passing, although it's been awhile since i've seen him, i will never forget the impact that he had on my life. I will always remember the times that my dad and i spent with him and the kids from FW. He was a huge part of my life growing up and was a part of some of the best times of my life. I will always remember him and you have my prayers and sympathies.

All of us at Special Olympics Ohio were sad to hear the news about Guy. For me personally, Guy was one of the first Coaches to befriend me when I became a volunteer for Special Olympics at my first Summer Games in the late 70's. Guy served as the Area 5 Director as well as always being an outstanding Local Director for the Crawford County Special Olympics for so many years. He was the winner of many State Championships in basketball & volleyball. And he went on to win the National Unified Special Olympics Volleyball Tournament held at the United States Volleyball Championships. He promoted family involvement in his Special Olympics Program and most importantly helped to develop his athletes in their sports and as members of their community. He will be missed!

Sincerely,
Marty Allen

I was sorry to hear of Guy's death today. We had talked recently one evening when I was tutoring at Waycraft and caught up on many things that were happening with each other over the past 10 years since I left Fairway. He seemed so frail but still talked fondly of the clients that he worked with.
My deepest sympathies and hope for peace in this trying time.
Sincerely and prayers,
Julie

Just today I learned of the passing of Guy. I didn't know him very well, but Guy and I shared a passion for people with disabilities and Special Olympics. He and I coached against each other in the late 70's and our paths frequently crossed. I was always impressed with his passion, commitment and dedication to what he did. He was "all about" others.

I pray that your pain is eased in the coming months as you hear more and more wonderful stories about Guy. And that you realize that this world was left a better place because he was here.

My sincere condolences...Kim Miller
