He fondly called his grandson “Coco” and nephew “Coconut” and only he could call them by their special nicknames. When his twins were prematurely born and brought home from the hospital, he improvised and used a shoebox as their crib until they grew out of it. Guy acquired his unique name after his physician, Dr. Guy Ligon, as his mom had limited English and had problems understanding the medical staff. Guy was employed for various entities, such as Miami Inspiration Consolidation Copper Co., BIA Forestry, Tribal Maintenance, BIA Roads, Juvenile Officer, and Jacquay Mine. He will surely be missed by his family and friends.
