Notes - Guy served in WWII in the Pacific as a Gunners Mate aboard USS LCS(L)(3) - 81. Once Guy had enough points to return home, he returned to California, spent some reserve time, and finally got out of the Navy in 1947 after serving for 3 years.
Guy married Betty on Feb. 14, 1948 and they began his construction career in Kingman, Arizona helping to build dams on the Colorado River for California's massive water projects. Guy quickly realized that he needed to have more of an education to make advances in his chosen profession and they returned to Visalia, Ca., where Guy completed his studies in Civil Engineering at College of the Sequoias in Visalia. Guy’s career with California Dept. of Transportation began in Feb. 1951 and retired in 1990. Many of those years were as the Resident Engineer for highway and bridge projects throughout San Luis Obispo, Monterey, San Benito and Santa Barbara Counties.
Guy died in Marysville, California during retirement when he rushed to the aid of a neighbor whos' house had caught fire. It was thought that one of the children was still inside the house and Guy had a heart attack while rushing to bring a water hose to the house.
