Guyette Sr., 93, of South Williamsport, passed away on Monday, Feb. 6, 2023, at his home. Known as Curt, he was the husband of Phyllis M. (Haas) Feese-Guyette, his wife of 28 years. Born in Elmira, N.Y. on Aug. 11, 1929, Curt was the son of the late Robert W. and the late Eileen F. (Daley) Guyette.
Raised in Kingston, Pa., Curt served his country honorably as a paratrooper in the U.S. Army and a radio operator in the U.S. Navy. He retired from the Pennsylvania State Police in 1975 as a Corporal. During his 20 years as a Trooper he served in a variety of capacities, working his way up to head of Vice & Narcotics at the Montoursville barracks, eventually joining a statewide internal affairs unit. In addition to a stint as office manager for the law firm McNerney Page Vanderlin & Hall, he continued to serve in law enforcement for various agencies, including as Chief Detective for the Lycoming County District Attorney’s Office and as an investigator for the US Department of Justice before finally retiring at the age of 80.

Curt was also a member of the King David Lodge #763 of Kingston; Scottish Rite, Valley of Williamsport A.A.S.R.; the County Detectives Association of Pennsylvania; and the Wheel Inn Club of Ralston. Curt was an accomplished billiards player and enjoyed playing poker and other card games throughout his life. For many years, he and his wife were frequent travelers. Never a shrinking violet, Curt always created fun environments and brought others along. He also enjoyed sharing stories of his many exploits. His favorite song was “My Way,” which is how he lived his long life to the end. Curt was truly one of a kind and will be deeply missed. Curtis is survived by his wife Phyllis M.
