I have said, that in my opinion, Ray Guy is the Greatest person ever of our province. Initially I just thought of him as being funny. Able to make me laugh. Then I realised the depth of his knowledge, and the courage it took to tell the stories that needed to be told. Is there yet no great monument or significant scholarship in his memory? There is no one else in his class. Ray and Rex had different styles. Everyone understood Ray, while many struggled with Rex's big words (he was called a wordsmith). Occasionally I pick up my copy of a Ray Guy book. The humour is as fresh as ever, for me who remember the characters, mainly politicians, he knocked down.
Boulder produced two compilations of his columns. I have them because the entire set of his writing is incredibly funny, insightful, and as you said far more knowledgeable than many assumed.
