    My condolences to his family and friends. That really is a remarkable history and record of service!
    One of the last of his generation.
    I hope someone recorded his memories and life story, that is, if he was open and wanted to talk about it.

    I met Guy at a coin show in Virginia and enjoyed speaking with him. In a very short time it was obvious that he was a special man who loved this country and served it with pride. My condolences to his family and friends, RIP.
