Guy (Dad, Grandpop, Uncle Guy, Griddles, Herbie) was a world traveler, enjoying trips to California, the Grand Canyon, Disney World, Germany, England, New Zealand, Fiji and Australia.

Guy was a verifiable Steve Jobs, painstakingly rebuilding computers. Despite not being a church-goer, he found solace in frequently reading the Bible and had a knack as an “animal whisperer”, often spending hours communing with nature in the nearby woods.
