I'm stunned and saddened by this terrible news. Guy was a great friend, a great man and a beautiful soul. He endured so much pain and ALWAYS put on a brave face. We worked closely together at Saddlebrook for many years. I had to take him to the hospital after a funeral mass for another friend as Guy's back acted up in the pew at the church, so Guy and I were all dressed up in suits. At the ER Guy was telling me all of the procedures he had done on his back. The fusions, the removal of fusions, etc. They took Guy for an xray of his back and he and I were in the examining room waiting for the doctor to come in with the x-ray images. The doctor comes in with the x-ray film and slides it into one of those lighted film gizmos and is staring at and deeply studying the image. So, I move over to take a look too; Guy is laying on the gurney. The doctor points to the image and says, "ah, here's a fusion" pointing to a bright white spot on the x-ray of Guy's spine. I say, "no, that's been removed". The doctor pauses and takes a closer look and says "you're right!...are you a doctor?" (after all I was in a suit) I say "no". He says, "then how did you know that fusion was removed". I pointed at Guy and said "because he told me". Guy and I busted up laughing. I will never forget him. Willie, Guy and Gina, I am so sorry for your loss. With deepest sympathy, David Slonina
