Guy was earnest and diligent through his years of farming and he retired

Celina American Legion Post #210. As an avid fan of
sports, Guy was an enthusiast of The Ohio State University Buckeyes
sports teams, the Cincinnati Reds, and fully supported the Celina
Bulldogs. Reading and the tranquility of a good book was an interest of
his. Guy and Vera enjoyed their time together; they spent countless
hours traveling the United States of America and abroad, sightseeing,
basking in the beauty of the countries, and most importantly, having
these experiences together. Guy’s dedication to farming shows his sense
of resiliency and his stout work ethic, which was duly respected by his
family. Most important to Guy was his family; he had an unwavering love
for his grandchildren and great grandchildren; he loved to follow their
activities and fully supported them in all of their endeavors. Guy’s wishes were to have a private family funeral do to Covid-19.
