Richard L Guy

LEXINGTON - Richard “Dick” Lawrence Guy, 83, formerly of Rochester NY, currently of Lexington, passed away peacefully Wednesday, September 7, 2016 in Lexington, SC surrounded by three generations of loved ones.

Dick was predeceased by his son, Terry Guy; parents, Bert and Martha Guy, and sister, Barbara Phillips. Dick is survived by his wife of 62 years, Marie; sisters, Patricia Boehly and Roberta Green; brother, William Guy; son, Richard and Beverly (predeceased) Guy and their children, Melissa, Michelle, Rich and Bradley of Lexington, SC; son, Terry (predeceased) and Patty Guy and their children, Phillip, Ashley and Jason of Rochester, NY; and daughter, Donna Guy-Veasaw and her children, Kendall, Jarin and Kassidy of Owego, NY, along with nine great-grandchildren.

Dick was born in Fleming, NY and was raised on a family farm in Throop, NY. Dick met the love of his life, Marie, in 1952. Together they raised three children: Richard, Terry and Donna. He was a Machinist at Turnomat in Rochester, NY and retired in 1996 after a distinguished career.

Dick and Marie were devoted snowbirds and traveled annually to their villa in Denedin, FL where they spent their days creating many memories together. Dick’s favorite pastimes were word search puzzles, sports and animal watching. A typical day during his retirement would be sitting at the dining room table working on a word search puzzle with a cup of coffee, a basket of pork rinds, and a box of tissues at his side with a baseball game silently playing on the television.

Dick loved buying things in “two”, ensuring that he never ran out of anything. He spent many hours riding down Clark Road in Rochester on his scooter wearing his orange vest and cap. A Sunday was never missed without a family dinner consisting of Marie’s homemade pasta sauce, spaghetti and meatballs.

Local funeral services will be held at 11:00 a.m. Saturday, September 10, 2016 at Caughman-Harman Funeral Home, Lexington Chapel. The family will receive friends from 10:00 a.m. until 11:00 a.m. in the chapel.
