I closed every conversation with him with those words. Even the last.
My stepfather since I was 11 years old, Guy offered me unconditional love, support and guidance. He was a calm influence and he instilled a quiet confidence that everything would be alright, no matter what. One of the most influential things he told me over and over was that "nothing is cast in concrete" and whenever I found myself in a tough situation, he encouraged me to consider my options and to make a change. He was an easily satisfied, content man, very similar to my dear Eric and his late father, Bud. All three, gentle souls. Guy died quietly, in his sleep at the age of 95, after a lengthy, gradual decline in mobility and health, while supported constantly by the vigilant ministry of my devoted mother, Judy.
Go in peace, Guy. Say hello to Marion for me.
