I would go with your dad on dealer trades for the Ford dealership in Avon. He often talked about his family and I could feel the love he had for all of you. I’m so sorry to hear about his and your mother’s passing. Know that they are at peace and sitting with our Lord in heaven.
Dad, I miss you so much. You were a amazing dad and grandfather. I won’t say goodbye but will tell you I love you and someday we will meet again.
Your dad visited our family as Santa for over 20 years. There were many tears all around when he shared his decision to retire his Santa suit. His gentle manner, soft voice, and kind way with the children is embedded in the West Family’s hearts, and he will always be an important part of our Christmas memories. The entire family sends deepest sympathy for your tremendous loss.
My condolences to Guy’s family. He was a great boss and good friend to my brother Jimmy and I. May he rest in peace.
My deepest condolences to the family and loved ones of Guy. Smitty and I go back 40 years; it was a true honor to work for him and with him. When Smitty joined our team as head of field operations we were a small and struggling company. By the time he retired, he had helped build our field operations to one of the largest interior contractors in Western NY and more importantly, he put together the very finest group of trades men and women to be found anywhere; Guy was simply the best. He was well respected by those who worked with him and will always be remembered an important part of our Accurate Acoustical family.
While it is comforting to know he is with Rhoma now, we at Accurate and will miss
him dearly. Santa lost his right hand man and so did we.
Rest In Peace my friend.
With Sympathy,
Scott Hept
Our sincere condolences to the Smith & Johnston Families. God Bless You Guy!
