FWIW, Guy was out riding motorcycles and, according to his son, "overexerted himself" and collapsed. His son admirably administered CPR for a very long time, but alas it became in vain. I watched Guy fight a few health issues over the past year as well and he did spend some time in the hospital. I'm not factoring out the effect of his wife's passing. She battled her illnesses for a long time and Guy was there through it all. It does have to have some effect as well.

Thanks for all the kind words on the forum. I'm always amazed at what a small fraternity we all resided in.

Just learned of this. I knew him not quite two years. It wasn't nearly long
enough. We were close to the same age and had a lot in common. He is truely
missed.

Wow!! He will be missed.
