Guy Rene Harry Carraux, born May 11, 1927 to Pascal and Renee Carraux in St. Gingolph, France, passed away June 3, 2010 in Houston, Texas. Guy was a wonderful husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather. He found the love of his life, Jody, his wife of 56 years, who preceded him in death.

Guy is also survived by his three beautiful daughters-in-law, Kathleen, Carol, and Denise Carraux; grandchildren, Kelly Carraux Sharpe, and Nikki, Amy, and Ben Carraux, and great-grandchildren, Hailey and Logan Sharpe.

After serving his country proudly in the U.S. Army, Guy returned to obtain a degree in electrical engineering from the University of Pittsburgh. He spent more than 45 years working as a registered Professional Engineer and educator at the college level. In the mid-90’s, Guy retired and enthusiastically devoted himself to his children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. He also enjoyed gardening and traveling to his hometown of St. Gingolph.

The family has planned a private Mass. In lieu of flowers, the family requests memorial donations be sent to Guy’s preferred research foundation: The Alzheimer’s Association, 2242 West Holcombe Blvd., Houston, TX 77030-2008.

Guy will be dearly missed.
