Guy grew up in the Villa Park section of Trenton, NJ. He graduated in 1954 from Trenton Catholic High School and later from Villanova University with a BS degree in Electrical Engineering. In September of 1958, he and Joan married and enjoyed 66 years of life together.

He spent most of his professional career with the Sperry Rand Corporation. In 1965, he transferred to Sperry’s Piedmont division in Charlottesville where he was known as Mr Radar.

Guy and Joan were active members of Church of the Incarnation Parish for over 40 years where Guy served as a Eucharistic Minister and on the Parish Council. He and Joan later became snowbirds, traveling to Florida each winter to find sunshine and relaxation. His favorite moments were on the golf course and family holidays.

Guy will be interred at St Thomas Aquinas church in the St Vincent Ferrer Columbarium in a private family service at a later date. The family would like to thank the caregivers at The Blake in Charlottesville and at the Sunrise of McLean Village in McLean, Virginia.
