Firefighter Guy White
(1938 - 2022)
We regret to report the passing in Florida last Wednesday, August 10th, of former Hamden Firefighter Guy White (83), who served as a career member of the department from 1971 to 1978, when he left to take a position in the insurance industry in Georgia.
A veteran of the United States Marine Corps, Guy had been a member of the West Woods Volunteer Fire Association before joining the career department in 1971 with the first wave of new personnel after the 42-hour workweek was instituted. He was assigned to Station 3, where he was assigned to both Engine 3 (Telesqurt) and Truck 2.
Guy leaves his wife Carolyn, a daughter Denise, and a son Guy Carl White III. His family reports that he will be cremated and interred at the National Military Cemetery in Canton, Georgia.
Please keep Guy's family in your thoughts and prayers at this sad time.

Never short on firehouse shenanigans, Guy holds Lt. Frank Eitler at bay
with a genuine bullwhip in hand (where the hell did he ever get that?)
