Guy Perrault

Guy was born February 10, 1924 in Port Au Prince, Haiti. He was the sixth of eight children in a very close-knit family. He completed his education, majoring in Math and Art, with the intent to becoming an Electrical Engineer. He was a fervent Catholic with strong faith, who knew that God loved and protected him. His hobbies included puzzles, crossword puzzles, and was a tenacious card player. He played soccer and served as referee in his younger days, and later became engrossed watching baseball and wrestling on TV.

In 1952, he married his one and only true love Marcelle Dejour. They were blessed with four children. They moved to New York City, where Guy worked at the Publisher’s Book Bindery Inc. He then work at the U.S. Post Office, retiring after 18 years of service and receiving numerous awards for outstanding performance. After moving to San Diego, Guy’s faith led him to join the Knight of Columbus (KoC), achieving a Fourth Degree which is a most prestigious degree within the KoC. Fourth Degree members are a group of Outstanding Knights who are dedicated to the service of God, Country and the Order.
