After serving two years in the U.S. Army during the Korean War, Guy spent 12 years working with the WV Division of Highways. In 1962, on his 30th birthday, Guy sawed his first log at Davidson Lumber Company, where he worked for the next 50 years, sawing his last log on his 80th birthday. He was a hard worker and instilled those same values in his family.
