Guy enjoyed being highly organized, from his stamp collection to the manuals that came with the tools and electronics he bought over the years. An eye for detail, he liked to make sure things were done right the first time. He loved helping his kids with home improvement projects, especially if there was a problem to solve. Guy enjoyed riding roller coasters. He and Karen loved to bowl, travel, and play cards and games together. Most of all, he cherished the time he spent with family.
