Uncle Bill our favorite Uncle holds a special place in our hearts. Always a smile, always made us feel special, everyone needs an Uncle Bill in their lives. With Love, Fran

Betsy, My thoughts and prayers are with you. May the memories you share help ease the pain. Like all of the summers we spent going out East, eating roast beef sandwiches in the car as your dad was doing u turns in the middle of the interstate! Your dad was the best Betsy, everyone should have the honor of having someone just like him in their life! We love you and will miss you Bill! Sherry Graf

Pop Pop I often think about the times when you lived with us in Gualala. Owen and I would be so excited to come over and see you in your trailer. I remember teaching you how to use your Internet TV. We looked up to you and love you very much. There are so many things I wanted to still ask you and talk to you. Not a day goes by were I think your still in Iowa sitting on your porch and relaxing and it will only be a short time till we come to visit. I love you very much - Lance

Dear Daddy, I am having a hard time wrapping my head around the fact that we will have to carry on without you. I can't remember a single time in my life that you were not part of, either in person, or in my thoughts. I am happy that you did not suffer, and I am happy that you are in Heaven with Mom, Uncle Joe and Aunt Butzie, and your parents. Will and Betsy and I are sure that they were all there to greet you when you arrived. Probably with a Whiskey Sour! Rob and Kate and John and I are so glad that you spent Thanksgiving at our house with us. We will hold those memories forever. I love you, Daddy. I will miss you so very, very much. Love, Georganne

Happy Father's Day Daddy! We love you and miss you so very, very much. Love and hugs, Georganne

Betsy, I am so sorry to hear about your dad. He was one of my favorite people, and I am lucky to have known him. I wish I could be there for the funeral, but please know you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. Kimberly Bailey

All: Our prayers and thoughts are with you... We will miss you Bill... Love, Mary and the kids.

I only regret that the sliver of time I got to spend with you Bill was so short. From laughing together during our conversations to others that went right over my head ... I wish I could have had more. But thanks Bill, you will always be in my heart. You left me with some great (and humorous) memories ... and best of all, you gave me my best friend and partner, Georganne, who reflects you in every way - every day. We will all miss you!

Our thoughts and prayers are with all the Guyan family. Friends and family are there for support. Memories and pictures will last for years, be your comfort and you'll cry again. We'll be there for you Betsy(our other daughter).

Hi Dad - I kept thinking I had to call you today. Kept thinking about gift ideas for you. Today was no fun at all. Happy Father's Day. Hope you're with your Father. Love, Betsy

Dear Mr. Guyan, You enriched many lives with your charm, sense of humor, candor and grace. You taught many how to accept the years that life adds on but to never accept a diminished enthusiasm to live, learn, enjoy, and laugh. You taught us explore life always through youthful eyes, with a passionate heart. You are again with Bette Anne, where you always were and always will be. Thank you for touching my life. Lovingly, Jeanne

Rest in peace PopPop/Bill. Thank you for lending us your beautiful and gentle daughter, Betsy. We had a lot of good times at Marco and family doings here in Rochester.You were a real gentleman. Hard to find these days. With deepest love and sympathy to your family and the wonderful grandsons we share, Jack and Patrick.

Dear Betsy - Our thoughts are with you. Your father was a terrific guy. I think back in particular to the night I spent with him in Marco Island at The Tide Hotel Bar. It was if he was 30 years old again and wanting to stay out all night with me. He was a very young guy “at heart” and fun to be with. Something tells me that your dad and I would have been long-time drinking buddies and friends had we have grown up together. I am truly sad, but will remember him for the funny times and jokes we shared. All our Love - Dan, Aat and Willem

Dear Betsy, Georgeanne and Will, We adored your Dad and always enjoyed his company, he brightened every occasion with his wit and that twinkle in his eyes. We'll be there with you today in spirit, wishing we could be there in person. We toasted his memory on New Year's Eve in the Rocky Mts. He lives on in all of you and your kids, a legacy any man would be most proud of. Our love to you all, Kathy, Mike and Erin
