He will be sadly missed and forever remembered by his extended family and many friends.

Guy was born in Toronto, Ontario, the youngest of 6 children born to Sophie Ann and Willis "James" Jennings. He was the baby of the family and was well taken care of by his older siblings. They grew up in Toronto on Gilbert Avenue after which they relocated to Preston, Ontario. Guy placed his roots firmly there and Cambridge truly became his home.
