“I would rather have a plain coffin without a flower, a funeral without a eulogy, than a life without the sweetness of Love and sympathy. Let us learn to anoint our friends beforehand for their burial. Postmortem kindness does not cheer the burdened spirit. Flowers on the coffin cast no fragrance backward over the weary way."…… George William Childs

After growing up on the coast he moved to the area and became a Richland Bomber for the class of 1966.
Following in his father’s footsteps he joined the United States Marine Corp on July 14, 1966. He proudly and bravely served two tours in Vietnam. The first time with HMM-364 from 1967 – 1968, and then again he served with HMM – 263 from 1968 – 1969. During his military career he earned two Purple Hearts one in 1968 and the other in 1969 both times at Phu-Bai.

He married
the love of his life Nola (Alderman) Lobdell while still in the Marines in 1969.
Guy started his career in Law Enforcement with Franklin County, back when the territory was so small he was often the only deputy on duty. From there he went on to the Richland Police Department. There he received officer of the year twice, once from the Jaycees and again from the Kiwanis.
During this time Guy and Nola settled into there home in Richland where they raised a family. Guy was a good father and loving husband. He supported his children as each one grew. Picking them up whenever they fell and pushing them when they needed to be pushed. He could be tough when he had to be and gentle when he needed to be.
In his retirement years Guy was involved in the Marine Corp League becoming a lifetime member, the D.V.A. and most recently his beloved Greyhound rescue. He and Nola rescued and adopted 3 themselves. He would enjoy standing on the back patio and watch them running laps, and not caring that they were wearing ruts in his lawn (that he was very particular about) their freedom from what they endured meant more to him.

Guy was tough as nails, and he went through a lot, many things that would have killed a “normal” person long ago. He kept on going and going no matter what. No matter the pain, until finally it got to be too much and he needed to rest his weary body. He was preceded in death by his parents Robert and Rhoda Lobdell.
There will be a celebration of Guy’s Life at the Knights of Columbus at 2500 Chester Road in Richland, WA on Saturday, June 17, 2006 at 3:00 p.m.
