He married the love of his life, Elizabeth Anne McCoskey, in 1983 at Shrine of the Little Flower in Royal Oak. They were blessed with a daughter, Kerry, born in 1987.

Guy will be remembered for his gregarious, vibrant spirit. He always took a genuine interest in anyone he met. His warm demeanor and infectious laugh will be deeply missed by his family and countless friends.

He enjoyed spending time with his family and friends. Guy's other passions included boating and playing guitar, both at home and with his guitar club.
