I have just come across this site for the first time and can't believe that no one ever commented on such a dedicated tenacious Officer. Time to set the record straight. I worked with Guy for many years, he was a pleasure to work with. He was a reliable, intelligent,caring person. Guy never shyed away from anything, no matter what came down the pike. We worked together in a very demanding specialized unit that very few were qualified to be assigned to. Just too hard for many. Not for Guy. He made even the most complicated investigation look like childs play. If you were the bad guy, you were as good as caught from the moment he was assigned the case. I don't think he ever lost a case in the Courtroom. Guy was always available to assist other Officers with anything even though he already had a full plate of responsibilties himself. Guy was also one of the most dedicated family men, I ever met. His wife and kids were everything to him. He was well known and respected by members of our community. Defense attorney's cringed when they found out that their client was captured by Guy because they knew he never left any stone unturned. Guy was a very cool dude and I'm honored to have been partnered up with such a outstanding Police Officer so many years ago.
