I got a call from my dad earlier today, and he told me that Guy Feltenstein passed away today. Guy was one of my dad's best friends, and Sally, Janie and I adored him. He had been battling cancer for the past two years.
My favorite memory of him is Super Bulldog Weekend 2000. He and his wife, Cathy, had come up with their enormous grill and set up shop just next to the stadium. He invited us all to come hang out. I was living with Sally at the time so we headed over that Saturday, and my dad and Janie made the drive up from Jackson. It was the prettiest day ever. Blue skies and warm. Guy kept grossing us girls out by showing us the full pig he had on ice ready to be thrown on the grill and teasing Janie about all the boys she was going to have chasing her when she got to college. At one point a couple of friends of mine, Will and Ty, from architecture walked over, and I thought they were just coming to freeload:) But Ty knew Guy as well. We spent the entire day drinking beer and eating.
I just wanted to let everyone know what a wonderful person he was and to keep his family in your thoughts.
