Guy and Nancy shared a duplex with Victor and me, first in Ames and later in Napier almost 45 years ago. Guy gave our second daughter her middle name! And, of course, Jean Marie was a dear "back in the days"..I was so saddened to try to find Guy on Facebook and to be led to this site. My love to Jean Marie and I will light a candle for Guy tonight.

Clark tells a great story that illustrates how unique and memorable Guy (P.T.) was in life. He still "lives" for us because we remember. RIP, good friend.

I never knew P.T. in "person" only through the weird phenomenon of Facebook, but I grew to appreciate his wit, intelligence , humor and ultimately his grace and great courage in the face of great suffering. My condolences to all his friends and family.

I was shocked and saddened to hear of the death of my friend Guy Hugunin. My condolences to his friends and family. We drifted apart many years ago, but for 20 years he was my best friend. I see he continued to use the moniker "P.T. Gustan." Let me tell you where that came from, if it is not already generally known. Back when I was an undergraduate at Iowa State University in the late '60s and I had known Guy for a year or two, I was studying German. Guy made great fun of the titles of my books (referring to a Woerterbuch as a "werterbutch"). That was the way we were, finding the humor in everything, and flogging it for all it was worth. For some unknown reason, I decided to take a course in elementary Spanish, a language that Guy could speak, having lived in Spain as a child when his farther was posted there in the service. Our textbook, as is typical, used conversations between young people as a teaching method. Two young men were talking about going somewhere because there were good looking girls there. One asked the other "Porque, te gustan las chicas?" which means "why, do you like the girls?" After dropping the Spanish class after two days I maintained that this phrase and "Sierra la puerta, por favor" were the only things I had learned, and I repeated the phrases constantly to Guy, as if I were holding a conversation with him in Spanish. My single sentence of Spanish soon morphed into a name, Mr. "Porkie" T. Gustan, aka "P.T. Gustan". When I went on to grad school in Iowa City and Guy moved to Spencer to take over a paint store, we wrote each other often. I would put "Porkie T. Gustan" in the return address of the envelope, while Guy would use his rubber stamp kit to stamp in large letters across the front of his envelope "Frank Material Enclosed." It was only when I chanced on some of Guy's blogs in the last few years that I noticed he was making use of the name "P. T. Gustan."
I wish we hadn't drifted apart, but after I got married at 39 to a 21 year old girl (Guy was my best man) and had a baby, I heard less and less from him. Then nothing at all. The last time I heard from him was an email when our mutual friend Randy Howlett died several years ago.
But we had some good times together. Such good times. Goodbye, my friend.

Rest in peace, Guy!
You were bright, funny, crazy.
I recall with amusement those early hippie days in 1969 in Ames.
I send my condolences to family and friends.

When I was going through my aneurysm and subsequent brain surgery in early May Guy or PT as I knew him by was very concerned about me. He had only known me for about six months, as a friend of his cousin Davids. He called almost daily,until he became too ill to do so. I was most impressed at his ability to show so much concern for another,as death was literally at his own backdoor.

There are not enough words to speak about this brother in law. Maybe one day a poem will manifest, probably by Rumi not me.
Guy's memory is for a blessing--and many thoughts and smiles.
Love to his wife his dad and all his pals. May comfort surround you soon.
With you in spirit a couple /few hundred miles down the road - from all of us here at Kitty Nation
