In the mid 1950s Guy moved to Kansas where he worked for Boeing Aircraft for several years. Eventually, Guy transferred to Louisiana where he operated an overhead crane as part of NASA's Saturn V Moon Rocket construction.

Guy and his brother-in-law, Euel Beach, owned and operated G & B Texaco. Later, Guy was joined by his brothers, LC and Harvey Gammill, and Gammill Oil Company was founded. Guy's sons, Tim and Terry, own and operate the family business to this day.
Guy had lots of hobbies during his lifetime. He loved flying his Cessna, collecting antique automobiles, driving his tractor, gun bluing, building birdhouses and furniture, and watching western movies.
Guy was a self-taught musician. He played the guitar, upright bass, and piano. He loved to play and sing in church. Guy was a member of several local blue grass bands. His passion for music gave him some of his greatest joys.

The singing in Heaven will be much improved now that God has Guymon singing in his choir. He was always a joy to listen to. We know you will miss him, but he is in a better place than here on earth. I pray God will bless you and keep you through this trying time.
Your friend,
Don Gammill
