Luda Guice died suddenly on December 26, 1995. His death was unexpected after a brief hospitalization but he was at home where he wanted to be.
One of six children born to Charles and Emma Guice, he was born April 3, 1913 in Notasulga, Alabama. His parents, his sister, Annie Mae Hicks, and his brothers, Ulysses (called "Uless") and James Guice preceded him in death. He is survived by his loving wife Lucille, sons, Alphonso (Marilyn) Guice, Sr. and Samuel "Butch" (Cheryl) Guice; brothers, Eddie (Maggie) Guice, and Luda's twin borther, Luther (Ann) Guice; 4 grandchildren; 6 great-grandchildren, and many nieces, nephews and friends.
In February 1939, Lucille Moss and Luda Guice were married. They lived on a farm in Alabama where their main crop was peanuts. In 1940, their older son, Alphonso, was born in Tuskegee, Alabama, before they moved to Columbus in December 1940. Their younger son, Samuel, who is known as "Butch", was born in Columbus in 1946. The Guice family lived in Poindexter Village for several years, but hard work by both parents enabled them to buy a home. Luda only knew one way to work - as hard as you can. He worked hard on the farm, in factories as a grinder or welder and in his own yard. Those falling leaves had to raked or that snow had to be shoveled as soon as possible.
He loved God and made Calvary Tremont his church home in 1941. There are son many things he loved; his wife and family, his wife Cille's cooking, being outdoors on a nice day, good gospel singing, laughter, and people to talk to or watch. He was just as content to listen to a good conversation as he was to participate in one. People watching was near the top of his favorite activities. Luda sat and watched people at the mall, in his yard, or in his house. People who like people are usually liked in return, and he was no exception. Two young men were told of his death. One said " I don't think he ever met a man he didn't like" and the other lamented "they don't make men like that anymore." When his neighbor heard of his passing, the man burst into tears.
Luda Guice had a remarkable life, although he probably didn't think so. He was a "gentle man" and a true gentleman with courtly manners. He was married to the same woman for 56 years. He was 82 years old and had never been in the hospital less than two weeks before his death. Young men respected him and neighbors cried when they learned of his death. He will be missed.
