Guy was raised in an Italian family and was an exceptional cook known for making hundreds of meatballs and sauce, and being raised in Kansas City could enjoy barbeque for any meal! He loved music, especially classical; he was a film buff extraordinaire, especially those movies made before 1970. Because of his father's love of movies, he knew many of the supoprting actors in many old movies. His favorite movie was "To Kill a Mockingbird" and he could recite every line. Guy could watch the classics over and over, and he did so. Another of his many interests was animals. One of his cats, Lucy, preceded him in death; he is survived by his other cats, Sophie Rudy. In recent years, Guy enjoyed RVing with friends Marty and Lisa. Among his favorite places were Mt. Rushmore, Santa Fe, and Yellowstone.
