An absolute gentleman. A constant part of the video of my youth. Many sleepovers spent with Heather, trip to Young Talent Time with the lairy tie to attract the camera, extreme sunburn with blisters on our trip to Glenelg and ABBA concerts live on your entrance hallway step. Wonderful friend to Cilla and Eric and one of the first people to meet our Erin on your trip to Alice Springs.
One final hug on Thursday was more special than I realised.Dear Pam.

Raeleen PendleburyWanted to share my lovely memories of Mr Guy helping Heather and her 2 room mates to find a share house in Melb during our uni years. Without his help and support we were never going to find our way around or negotiate with any of the real estate agents successfully. He helped set us up in our first home as grown ups, just another example of his kindness and generousity. Sending much love to Heather and all your family during this sad time xx

Rest in peace John. Softly the leaves of memories fall, sadly we stoop to gather them all. Jack Huxtable.

John was a truly good man – devoted to his family and community.
“Death is not the extinguishing of the light ; it is the putting out of the lamp because the dawn has come”John it was a privilege to have known and worked with you. I have never known someone to give so much of themselves to their local community. You always presented yourself with such dignity and humility. A true gentleman who will be missed by all that knew you.

April 12, 2023Coming to Morwell around 1960 as a young man from Queenstown, Tasmania , John made an ongoing and significant contribution to public life in our community. Not only in and around Morwell but also in the Latrobe Valley and the wider Gippsland area. His unstinted service has been the hallmark of a very generous and caring person.

Commiserations to the family and close friends…that must be a large number of people.

April 17, 2023
You were a devoted husband, a wonderful father, the best grandfather we could ever have asked for, a beautiful man.
You will be missed more than words can describe, but I will cherish the many memories we made together over the years. Your lumpy chair, your selective hearing when Nanna called “Johnno” across the lounge room, your cheeky smile whenever I asked if you’d been drinking enough water, when you sang “All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth” as I bawled in Dad’s arms after knocking them out in the bath as a four-year-old, your Donald Duck sneezes. Seeing the love, respect and admiration so many held for you has brought warmth at a very sad time, and I will forever try my best to be the kind of man you taught me to be. It is an honour to be your eldest grandson. Go Saints. Love now and forever, Josh.To Pete Susan and the Guy Family
