A Life Well Lived

Henry J. Guice, 73, died Sunday, June 24, 2018, at the East Alabama Medical Center in Opelika following a Fatal Car accident along with his Brother John M. Guice on Monday, June 18, 2018.

He leaves his wife of 54 years, Mildred (Wagner) Guice; his sons, Robert and Michael Guice and his companion, Sadie Strong; his daughter, Pamela Guice; his cousin, Raymond Guice; two grandchildren, Kenlauni and John Guice; and many close friends.

Born and raised in Opelika, the son of Earl and Helene Pauline (Preston) Guice, he was a lifelong resident of Opelika.

In his early years, Mr. Guice would help sell cars for the family's business, Guice auto. After graduating from North High School in 1962, he attended Clark University, graduating in 1967 with a bachelor's degree in Economics. He met his wife, Mildres Jacobs, at church and they were married at 19 at Zion Baptist Church. In 1969, he joined the U.S. Coast Guard, where he was a Seaman, First Class.

After serving with the Coast Guard, Mr. Guice had the opportunity to join the Traveler's Insurance Company in Worcester. In 1971, he started the John Ross Insurance Agency, a partner of Insurance Services of Worcester. He not only took pride in his business, but truly relished the friends he made during his time in business. Over the years, his insurance expertise and reputation led him to be named the top Life Insurance Agent for Traveler's Insurance Co.

Mr. Guice had a passion for animals and was the head dog trainer for Shrewsbury Dog Training Club. For years, he would enroll his award winning German shepherds into dog shows, where he won numerous ribbons and awards.

An avid Fisherman, he was a longtime member of Lee County Fisherman Club, the hooks and reels Club and the infamous Big Bass Fishing Club in SC. He served on the board of directors for Hooks and reels Club and Zion Baptist Church of Opelika.
