L. DALE GUY

Condolences & Memories (11 entries)

• Sometimes I look back and think of the significant people in my life. Dale was such a person for me. We had a family connection to the Mather, Manitoba community, he hired me as a School Social Worker at the Child Guidance Clinic in the then Fort Garry School and he was a mentor to me in my role as a a school clinician. Later, he became a friend. Although he passed almost nine years ago, I think of him often. - Posted by: David Groff (Colleague / Friend) on: Apr 12, 2024

• Dale and I used to get together every fall to have a lunch for our birthdays, as they were only 4 days apart. - Posted by: Jim & Donna Moreton (friends from when he taught in Altamont, Manitoba) on: Oct 07, 2015

• I will never forget Dale - my memories will always be full of love and great respect for him. I was fortunate to have him as a colleague at Child Guidance Clinic in Winnipeg, and as a special friend after my retirement and move to Guelph and Meaford. Dale's delightful Christmas epilogues and his famous fantabulous Black Forest Cake will be cherished forever. - Posted by: Sonia Earle (Friend and colleague) on: Sep 22, 2015

• Dale was my boss for many years when I worked as a clerk in the Child Guidance Clinic. I have very fond memories of Dale and always considered him one of the BEST people to work with. Always considerate, respectful, generous, thoughtful and caring. Dale, you will be missed. My sympathy to all family and friends. - Posted by: Pat McNeil (Co-worker) on: Sep 21, 2015

• I am deeply saddened at Dale's death. He left us much too soon. Dale's and my husband John's great-grandfathers were brothers. We learned there was a fine man named Dale through a much loved aunt in Indiana. She and Dale were interested in the family history. We now are appreciative recipients of their work. Dale was a fine gentleman. He was kind, generous, compassionate, intuitive and witty. After my husband's death last year he came to Fargo for the memorial service. It was good to meet him then. Our world is richer for having known him, but poorer because of his absence. To all his family and friends I extend my heartfelt sympathy. - Posted by: Ruth Guy (A cousin through marriage) on: Sep 21, 2015

• My husband, Greg Stites, and I were so sorry to hear of Dale's passing. He was such a lovely, thoughtful man! He came all the way from Winnipeg to Fargo for my parents' (Wm. L. and Jean Guy) funerals and for Uncle John Guy's funeral in Minnesota. All above and beyond our expectations. We are so glad we got to know Dale and that he shared our family geneology with us. Rest in peace Dale! - Posted by: Nancy Guy (Cousin) on: Sep 21, 2015

• I am shocked and saddened to hear of Dale's passing. It was wonderful to meet him for the first time in Ireland two years ago. He traced our family and gave us photographs of relatives which we will cherish. I enjoyed his emails and great sense of humour. Rest in peace. Elish Johnston and family. - Posted by: Elish Johnston (3rd cousin) on: Sep 20, 2015

• I had the privilege of working with Dale at the Child Guidance Clinic for 10 years. His insights and advice as my discipline supervisor in the Reading Department were invaluable. Even after leaving the Clinic to pursue private practice, I contacted Dale for guidance on a number of occasions and greatly appreciated his input. We have continued to stay in touch and I will miss his humorous Christmas letters. Rest in peace, Dale - you left us far too soon! - Posted by: Darlienne Black (Former Colleague) on: Sep 20, 2015

• It is with deep shock and regret to hear of my cousin Dale's passing. We have very fond memories of his recent visit to Ireland. He was a true gentleman and we were privileged to have met him. May he rest in peace. - Posted by: Brian Tighe and family (Third cousin) on: Sep 20, 2015

• As an extended family member, we were very pleased to get information on the Guy family from Dale. He traced the family history for several generations. We were also pleased to get to know Dale in person when he came down to Fargo for a couple of funerals and for a visit this summer with Ruth Guy and my husband Bill and me. He was a delightful person with whom to visit, so knowledgeable and a good listener. We invited him to stay at our home on several occasions when he came for funerals but he always said he liked to be a visitor rather than a guest. we enjoyed and appreciated his emails talking about current events. It was a privilege to get to know him and we send our sympathy to his family and close friends. - Posted by: Marilyn Guy (I am married to William L.Guy III, who is a cousin if Dale's. ) on: Sep 19, 2015

• I have known Dale all of my professional life as I worked with him at Child Guidance Clinic for over 30 years. I will fondly remember his dry and sometimes acerbic wit and he kept me laughing through many difficult situations at work. Dale was my Area Service Director in two school divisions and technically this made him my "boss"; I put that in parentheses as Dale was often irritated with me as I rarely listened to him when he was telling me to do something. He came into work one morning, fuming mad at me before the work day had gotten underway. Apparently he had a dream about me the previous evening and I wouldn't listen to a thing he told me to do. But in spite of my intractable nature, we remained good friends and colleagues. I will miss his presence. - Posted by: Mary-Jane Robinson (friend) on: Sep 19, 2015
