Guy was a dedicated professional in the automotive field, earning multiple awards for his exceptional management of dealership parts departments. He was known for his expertise and commitment to excellence, making a lasting impact in his industry.
A passionate auto-racing enthusiast, he loved nothing more than the smell of racing fuel. Even after years as a motorcycle drag racer, he still closely followed the sport and enjoyed going to the track, even jumping behind the wheel when the opportunity arose. Guy also devoted much of his time to his faith. He was deeply involved in his church, serving for many years as a deacon and taking on various roles, including being the chief pancake maker for many beloved breakfast events.
Guy is survived by his children, Heidi Clements and her husband Damion of Eastham, Mass., and Kameron Spaulding and his wife Anna of Lenox, and Guy also cherished his grandchildren, Mattison Clements and Elsie Spaulding. He is remembered fondly by his siblings, Linda Spaulding, Rae (Peter) Cary, Gary (Janet) Spaulding, and Ken (Collen) Spaulding, as well as his brother-in-law Micheal (Julie) Mattison. He was predeceased by his mother Mary Alice Carey, father George Spaulding, and sister Betty Spaulding.
