Henrietta, NY: February 22, 2022. Impeccably funny, unrelentingly passionate, gregarious, generous, fiercely stubborn, and astoundingly accepting and loving. These are just a few of the qualities embodied by “The Captain”, Guy Ladiges. Guy had an infectious laugh, irresistible charm, and a sharp wit. He thought he was an expert at everything, but truth be told, he was really good at many things. (Guy would expect and appreciate a light roast in his obituary). He was especially good at building strong bonds and relationships with his many, MANY friends. Guy was the social director of his people and took great pleasure in organizing incredible experiences for his loved ones including annual events like pig roasts, white water rafting trips, and his signature event- Guy’s Annual Christmas Tree Day Extravaganza. Guy loved to play cards. He loved red wine and seafood. He loved to sing, play guitar and write songs. He loved his home, and, perhaps most of all…no, definitely most of all, he loved his five children. He was an example to all of how to live a beautiful life, full of joy, and void of regret.
Guy Ladiges was born in Toronto, Ontario, Canada on June 6, 1959. He attended Gates-Chili High school, and went on to enjoy a 30 plus year career as a realtor. Guy spent over 20 years with his wife Lynnette Ladiges with whom he had five children- Jessica (Massey), Jonchristian Ladiges, Justin Ladiges (Pamala), Jordan (Jake) Ladiges, and Jearic Ladiges. Guy was also a proud grandfather to James, Samuel, Francesca and Joseph (Sardo), Symone and Zora (Massey), Oscar Ladiges and Aurora Ladiges, and a loving uncle to many nieces and nephews. He is survived by his brother, David Ladiges (Jacqueline). He lived in his beloved old farmhouse in Henrietta for many years, and passed away peacefully on February 22, 2022, surrounded by his children.
There will be a celebration of life in honor of Guy on Sunday, March 6 th , from 2-6 at The Genesee Valley Henrietta Moose Lodge, 5575 West Henrietta Rd. West Henrietta, NY 14586.
