Arthur Robert “Bob” Guy passed away peacefully on Aug. 24, 2017, in Chandler, Arizona, surrounded by his wife and four children after living a blessed life of 92 years.

Bob Guy was born April 27, 1925, and grew up on the family farm west of Austin, Minnesota, and attended Austin High School. After serving in the U.S. Army in World War II he returned to buy his own farm just south of the family farm in the Oakland area. There, he and his wife, high school sweetheart Rose (Brown), raised their four children. Bob was a respected and well-known leader in the farming community during the late 1940s, 1950s and early 1960s.

In the mid-1960s Bob bought the John Deere dealership in Arlington, Minnesota, and lived there until returning to Austin in the early 80’s to care for his aging parents, George A. (Art) and Laurette Sievers Guy. Upon returning to Austin, Bob continued working in the John Deere business until retiring. He was also active in the Westminster Presbyterian Church and the Elks Club.

In 2000, Bob and Rose moved to Chandler to escape Minnesota winters, play more golf (their passion) and be closer to their children who live in Arizona.

Bob is survived by Rose, his beloved wife of nearly 74 years; their four children, Bob Guy (Mary Ellen) Scottsdale, Arizona, Mary Litfin (Butch) Green Valley, Arizona, Stephen Guy (Elaine Leonetti-Guy) Chandler, and Susan Guy, St. Peter, Minnesota; 10 grandchildren; and three great-grandchildren.
