A special thank you to longtime friend Garry Mahn for his continuing loving support on this journey. Growing up in Tecumseh, he made his way to Kitchener in the early 60's where he met and married Judy. Guy grew up in the Rock n' Roll era, notably adoring Elvis Presley. For many years he enjoyed playing in a band and entertaining family and friends. He worked extra hard to support his 3 children and their extra-curricular activities, at times, working 3 jobs. Guy retired from the City of Kitchener after 32 years as a sign writer. In retirement he enjoyed making family movies, art, drawing and drinking Tim Horton's coffee. Most importantly he loved spending time with his family. All who knew him will sadly miss his smile, love, patience and relentless sense of humour.
