Born in Phoenix, Arizona, he was the son of Col. Fred C. and Mary V. Mehl. Guy was the loving husband of Nancy O. Mehl, and the two were married for some 62 years.
Guy was a graduate of Gettysburg College in 1956 and then served in the U.S. Army for two years in Germany. He graduated from the Lutheran Theological Seminary at Gettysburg in 1961.
