Guy was a good friend since August, 1967 when we shared an office as new HPE faculty members. My family shared his love for home-made ice cream – usually with me turning the freezer and Guy riding my small children on his back on our patio. My memories of Guy are all positive and he was one of those "steady" people. I have never known a finer person and his Thibodaux High School students know what a wonderful leader they had with him as their principal. Click here for Guy’s Athletic Network Profile. He captured his experiences with Coach Russ Faulkinberry and his life as an educator.
