He was definitely the brains in the office at West Kildonan Collegiate. The voice of reason and always greeted everyone with a smile. Good guy, for sure. - Posted by: Darryl Ludwig (past student) on: May 02, 2017

I was a Student at West Kildonan Collegiate (1979). To this day I remember how Guy used to always have the time if a student needed to talk. Though at the time he seemed tough and stern we now understand it was in our best interest. He seemed to remember you years after you graduated . Now I'm not sure if that meant we left a bad or good impression. I know that he gave his students direction to follow the right path in life. I'd like to thank him for that. Again, my deepest condolences. - Posted by: Debbie Forest (Friend) on: Jun 16, 2005
