“You gotta laugh“
What an immeasurable loss. Will miss you, Guy- I hope you’re resting peacefully now.
“You gotta Laugh”, we will never forget your laugh and how it elated all around. Eveline has given you permission to ride your Motor Bike as fast as you like, God’s speed to Heaven my friend. Love to you and your Family.
Too much to say. You will be dearly missed. Love ya.
Hey Guy,
Don’t you think it’s time we told them, it was you and i that burned the picnic benches?
Loved you Guy and will miss you. You were something special.
Uncle Guy,
It was a pleasure knowing you, learning from you and being in your company. Your zest for life and great sense of humor will be sorely missed. We’re glad we were able to spend time with you over the years.
You’ll always be our favorite Uncle!
all our love,
Curtis and Sue
I thought of you often Guy, and will continue to do so. Your humour and kindness will be missed by all who knew you. Please have a pint with my dad in heaven. Condolences to Evelyn, your sons & your family.
Out of all of my friends’ families, Guy was the parent I had spent the most time with – sharing stories and laughs. For building such a beautiful home and remarkable family, you have accomplished the utmost in this lifetime. You are the first good friend I have lost.
A privilege to have known you Guy rest in peace.
Guy: we had many good and wonderful Thanksgiving Dinners with you and the rest of the family. You were always such a gentleman and you had a great sense of humor. We are all going to miss you and that smile you always had. Eve and boys we are thinking of you and we are sorry for your lose. Luv Ya
You were one of a kind, Guy. I knew it that day that Eveline proudly introduced us back in Ipswich almost 40 years ago. I am so glad to have known you. All my love.
You always brought a smile to our face. You will be greatly missed. You have definitely left your mark with us!! As Reg would have said, ‘a Gentleman and a Scholar’. Rest in Peace Guy. Our thoughts are with your family.
“One of Love’s greatest gifts is remembrance”. May time in it’s quiet way and lovely memories of Guy, bring comfort to your heart’s. Our loving thoughts are with you, Eveline, Johnny, Greg and your Family.
:
Guy, my truly amazing brother in law, you and Eveline shared a beautiful relationship and you were a fantastic Dad, I’ll miss you Guy but my memories will be in my heart, forever.
So sad to hear of the passing of Guy. Our deepest sympathy to you Evelyn, Johnny and Greg. We remember so well the fun days of being on the soccer fields with the kids. May he rest is peace.
This is the first week we haven’t done the crossword together. The washing machine has moved six inches from the wall. It’s probably the vibration from the rinse cycle. Or it’s you being cheeky. I’m hearing lots of Guy stories from your friends. Even your nurses have phoned. And your boys have been brilliant. Love you always, Evy xxx
Many good memories of our Rugby adventures, you always managed to stamp on my feet! a good mate and a true friend.
Until we meet again.
Love, Chris & Victoria
gone too soon-we will miss your funny stories and smiling face.
Johnny, Mrs Santilly, Greg, I am so sorry for your loss; my thoughts and prayers are with you.
Guy, thank you for always being so hospitable during our rowdy highschool years.
You will be missed.
Those we love don’t go away, they walk beside us every day.
Hope these words will help you and the family through the days ahead.
My heart goes out to you all…. Love & Hugs xxx
“A Diamond Geezer”, as they say. Guy was one of the first people I met when I moved to Hamilton over twenty years ago. I hadn’t known him five minutes and I was laughing. I have many memories of Guy, but two stand out—
1. He told myself and a few others the world’s most amusing joke (involving the Bee Gees and the Kray Twins), which I could never do justice by retelling.
2. I once described a rather tense situation I encountered in a North London Working Men’s Club, and Guy replied that if something like that happened again, I should “just laugh”. And if that didn’t work? “Laugh harder”.
My sympathies to his wife, sons, and many friends and family…..Guy, you will be missed…
Guy you shared a beautiful life with Eveline, you were a fantastic Dad, your memories will live on forever xxx
Guy. What we thinking of when your name is mentioned? The love and carrying that came from your eyes when you said hi, the strong armed hugs, the light that filled a room when you smile or laughed. The love you had for Eveline!. The love you had for your boys. The love you had for everyone . We will miss you. But never forget you.
All our love. Cory Wayne and Sid.
The smile that always graced Eveline’s face and the twinkle in her eye spoke volumes about the kind of guy Guy was. Guy – you were a gentleman and a treasure indeed. I know somehow that you will find a way to always stay close to the ones who love you so much. Dearest Eveline & family, sending you my love & prayers for comfort.
We would like to express our deepest condolence to Eveline and the boys. We were fortunate to have gotten to know Guy while he worked on our houses. He was a pleasure to work with and always fun to chat with. We enjoyed all his stories of family and travel. I know how much he loved you all and we would like to send our love during this very sad time.
Our thoughts are with you.
Love
Julie, Michael, baby Landon, & Grandma Susan
We all miss you terribly Guy,and all the fun times we all had on your deck and ours, all that laughter the jokes and plenty of smiles.
All our love going out to Eveline, Greg and John.
I will never forget my first day of grade 1. I walked into my class, immediately met Johnny, and we started talking about his house. It was the awesome house on South Street with a Batcave on the side. Eight year old me was amazed to find out that Batman had not actually built this Batcave, but Johnny’s very own hero had. Guy, you built a beautiful life and are loved by all those fortunate enough to have been part of it. You will be missed.
Guy you used to light up the room in the Winking Judge, with your gentle courtesy,and really wicked sense of humour. We all loved you. Your ‘Always Look on the Bright Side of Life’ attitude. You were a good friend too, always ready to help.You gave of your self. We were privileged to know one of nature’s gentlemen. You will be truly missed.
Eveline,you and the boys had a really special man. Our thoughts are with you.
Dear Eveline, my prayer is that God will be the strength and joy of your life and family. That He will comfort you and be there for you and your family as you walk this life remembering the blessed & joyful gift of the life you spent with Guy. God bless:)
Guy,
You will be greatly missed but NEVER forgotten. You always made us laugh. Eveline and boys, may you aways have Guy in your hearts. He was a wonderful man.
Till we meet again.
We could all take a leaf out of Guy´s book. A book of life rules – the rules that only really matter. You got it Guy, you always did! I have a lot to learn from you.
A wonderful man, unique and special in so so many ways.
Love always
Will miss the banter at the “Wee Dram” God speed and prayers go with your family
Dear Guy.. such a lovely man with such an amazing sense of humour. You were always smiling, always kind. Heaven has brighter light.. Lesley
What wonderful memories from the rugby club you have left with us all. You will be truly missed Guy.
God bless you, Eveline, Greg and Jonny.
We are sure your name will come up in conversations for years to come.
Love Chris and Colin
I would walk into a room, see Guy, walk up behind him and say…”big breath, big breath”‘ and he would always turn around, with his hands on his hips and say…… “yeth and I’m only sixteen”.
What a laugh.
(Famous lines from a Brit sit-com).
Thanks for the memories.

Even though I only knew Guy for a couple of years, my life was touched by his kindness and his sense of humour. I had only just moved to the apartment beside him when he came over and fixed the window on my car and I can remember he was making me laugh within 5 minutes of talking to him. I will miss seeing his smiling face over the fence. My condolences to you Eveline and your family.
While stopped at the lights at Oslser and South St the other day I glanced over at the kitchen window, thought you might be dancing in the window…again! We Miss you Guy Guy!
