He has been credited with helping turn Newfoundlanders against the authoritarian rule of former premier Joey Smallwood, whose policies Guy ridiculed and mocked with humour and satire. In the 1980s and '90s, Guy was a columnist for The Sunday Express, and then The Telegram. From 2003 to 2013, he wrote a column for The Northeast Avalon Times, a community newspaper based in Portugal Cove, which are collected in Ray Guy: The Final Columns, 2003-2013. He published several books, including "That Far Greater Bay," for which he won the Stephen Leacock Medal for Humour in 1977. Guy also wrote TV commentaries and plays, and acted in the CBC-TV series "Up at Ours." His play "Young Triffie's Been Made Away With" was made into a movie in 2006. Guy grew up in Arnold's Cove, and obtained a journalism degree from Ryerson Polytechnic Institute in Toronto in 1963. He died in St. John's on May 14, 2013 at age 74.
