He was appointed by Professor Wayne Clough to Virginia Tech's first Civil Engineering Alumni Advisory Board, which elected him its chair. Remembering sermons by Professor Dan Pletta about the importance of engineering education, he tried to represent practicing engineers on the board of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET), on engineering education committees for five national engineering societies and on engineering advisory committees at four other universities.
At the national level, Guy is a fellow of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) and has chaired its Committee on Curricula and Accreditation. He has also held office as treasurer of the National Society of Professional Engineers (NSPE), as president of the American Academy of Environmental Engineers, and as board chairman for the Order of the Engineer and recently concluded chairing NSPE's Board of Ethical Review.

He was appointed to the Board of the National Institute of Building Sciences by President Reagan, and to the State Water Study Commission by Virginia Governors Mills Godwin, John Dalton and Jim Gilmore.
He is survived by his wife, Suzanne of 48 years, three grown sons, James Thornton Guy, Louis Lee Guy, III, Francis West Guy, two adorable grandchildren, Alexa Suzanne Guy and James Schambeau Guy, daughters in law, Lynne Guy, Nicole Guy and a brother James Mayo Guy.

He was president of the Norfolk Historical Society and treasurer of Citizens for a Fort Monroe National Park. He served on the Heritage Committee of St. Paul's and he gave history tours of Ft.
