I just found this while searching the Guild family on the internet. I grew up across the street as the little redhead Mr. Guild so fondly called me. I spent many days, evenings and holidays with the family until several years ago. Mr. Guild loved his family and always welcomed me into his home. I enjoyed many meals he cooked. Sorry to hear of his passing and my condolences to his family. ❤️ Christie
I would like to share what my father George Edward Guild taught me. My Dad taught me how to fold clothes like a Marine, scrub a tub and shower until it shined and make something out of nothing taste good! The word responsibility was never spoken but it was a way of living, never walk by garbage on the floor without picking it up, always get to work on time and check the oil and water in the car. Always respect your Mother and always pay back your debts, drinking alcohol is not the always the best way to past time and listen to your Father because he ended up always being right! During my rebellious years growing up I may have caused grief, he taught me tough love and never give your child an ultimatum they just make take! He taught me to gently restore your relationships and to go to church. He taught me how to love unconditionally and that there is room in your heart for more love. He showed me what a good man is supposed to be, first to my Mom, Emily and then Second to Esperanza who we call Pansing. He taught me how to give and to show gratitude, he taught me how to do math and nice penmanship he taught me how to be a Guild.
I will share a lasting, unforgettable moment hours before my father passed away. For all of you who know my Dad, you will agree his lack of sense of humor, and his "Archie Bunker" attitude shined thru this last loving but serious gesture to his eldest son...
It was early Saturday morn, (11/19/22) The paramedics were called in about 2:50AM, the caregiver called me and then 911, Dad had sat up fell asleep and fell onto the floor, the care giver could not get him up off the floor as he argued he wanted to sleep there, when I got there, the Paramedics agreed he had no injuries and no need to take him to emergency, so they ushered him back into his bed. As he laid in the bed, I gently lectured him that "Hey Dad, if the Caregivers want you to lay down and go to sleep, you need to do what they say" My Dad grumbled in agreement. Now I said, "it's time to get some sleep, you need to use your Cpap this time" Again he grumbled in agreement. "OK Dad give me a Thumbs Up or Down if the CPAP feels right? My Dad looked at me in disgust like "Really?" and slowly his left fist raised up to give me the middle finger salute. The Care giver and I start busting up laughing... That's my Dad!
I stayed till 4:30 AM as he slept soundly, not knowing that would be the last time I would kiss on him on the forehead and a simply say "love you, see you later" Dad was briefly awake to acknowledge the caretaker prepping to make him breakfast... I got a call at 7:30, he was pronounced at 7:41AM
