Friendship

February 21, 2017

I met Guy when my car was stalled on Blecher, near the Post Office. He was leaving work and saw I was having trouble. He came over and offer his help. Not many people will do that these days.

I left my cell at home and asked him if I could use his to call AAA. Not only did he let me use his phone, but he stayed with me for the hour it took before they came. While waiting he talked about his family, you can tell he really cared.

I will never forget his kindness and willingness to help a stranger. We met for lunch a few times and I realize now that there were few people like him.

Thank you Doug for sharing that story. I think I remember meeting you that day.

Army Life

September 7, 2016

Guy and I served together in the 228agc from September 1972 until April 1975. We were discharged together. The picture of Guy standing on the ship deck was taken by me. We spent a week in London over new years. 1974. The picture of the three of us sitting in the Landcaster Gate Hotel in London. That's John Minton on the left. Guy on the right and me in the center. We drove his orange VW bus all over Europe. We both worked in the APO together. He inside and I drove a semi truck. I sort of lost contact with him after discharge. I actually met up with Guy and I believe Mary was with him when I was in DC sometime in the 90's. I got out the same time as Guy, graduated from Ohio State in 78 got married and went into the insurance business. I was stunned when I turned on Facebook two years ago to see the notice of his death. I hope all of you are copping well with your loss. He was a good friend and I had some great times with him.

On my 60th birthday everyone was suppose to write something about me that they remembered and it was placed in a scrapbook. Everyone wrote these long tributes and stories about the times we had together.  Now Guy was not much for words so I was really looking forward to reading what he wrote.  I took my time, sat down, got a glass of tea to sip on and opened the book to his page. 

Well, it was not a page, it wasn't even half a page, heck it was only a few lines.  So after over 20+ years of marriage, raising kids and living life, this is what he wrote:

"One time we were at the casino and people were betting on chickens. I thought the whole idea of betting on chickens was stupid but Mary kept pushing me to bet on this certain chicken. After about 30 minutes and a lot of dumbfounded bystanders my chicken won and the pot was like really high and I was so surprised!  She was right!"

After reading it I went to him and told him that he may have been surprised, but not as surprised as I was when I read what he wrote.
