Notes - Guy played the fiddle and could pick out any tune on just about anything you handed him. Music was not his main nor only talent. He was an artist, a painter and had studios in Westfield and New York. The New York office was given over to package design for some of the huge companies of his time. He did all of the packaging for Colgate, The Girl Scout cookies, and several others for years. He did this so that when he was home in Westfield he could paint what ever and whenever he wanted.
He was a most debonair man, very clever, a great writer, (he used to illustrate his letters), and a hard worker, a man set in his ways. His daughter Margaret was very artistic and married an artist and they took over Guy's New York Office when he retired. The family moved from Westfield to Rowayton, Connecticut, next door to their daughter in Darien, and Guy set about painting his first love, the sea, it’s beaches and the boats he sailed in all of his life. He began to learn some new ideas from his son-in-law and had a showing of his work at the age of 80 in Westport.
