Born in Winnipeg on 1 January 1912, son of Robert Dunbar Guy and Anna Corinne DuVal (1886-1974), he graduated from the Manitoba Law School in 1936. He practiced law with the firm of Guy, Chappell, Guy, Wilson & Coughlin and was President of the Greater Winnipeg Gas Company (?-1959). He was appointed a judge of the Manitoba Court of Appeal in 1961, from which he retired in 1980. He was Chairman of the Manitoba Electoral Boundary Commission in 1965, and was the first speaker at the St. Boniface Hospital Research Foundation’s annual dinners. He served as President of the St. Andrew’s Society of Winnipeg (1963 to 1964), Manitoba Division of the CNIB, Manitoba Progressive Conservative Association, and Red River Writers; Chairman of the DuVal Foundation of Knox Church; and founder of the Armstrong’s Point Association.
