Guy's life was a living adventure: he was a mariner and navigator of the first order, a character with the bravery of a Viking and the kindness of Robin Hood. Generous to a fault, he could never turn his back on someone in need, and would risk his life in a flash to save the life of another. He was like a godfather to the coastal people.
- Philip Earle
Guy Earle commanded ships when he was a boy. He had the qualities admired by Newfoundlanders, and created maximum employment in the family business wherever he could. He was truly a Newfoundland hero.
- Geoff Stirling, (1921-2013), founder, CJON-TV (NTV)
Guy had a mind of his own. He was a terrific leader and he played hard to win at anything he did. He was quick to size up a situation and quick to take action. He never, ever accepted the word 'can't'; if it was possible, it had to be done.
- Fred Earle (1924-1999), Guy's brother and partner in business
Skipper Guy could take charge on anything. He had no fear and believed in himself. He could make friends with the Queen, as they say, if he wanted, and get anything he wanted.
- Fred Rossiter, (1905-1985), shipmate and friend of Guy.
It must be a beautiful thing to know you saved someone's life. Guy Earle saved me. I've had a long life, a successful business, and raised a family because of him. He was a great man.
- Ed Wahlen, businessman and friend of Guy
Guy Earle was the exemplification of courage in everything he did. His trade was with people and his warmth spread as widely as his countless business negotiations. He gave his life to his vision of the fishery; it was his gift to his homeland, a gift few men can claim to better.
- Maurice Quinlan (1910-1983), co-founder, Quinlan Brothers Ltd
Guy Earle was sent here by God to give to people.
- Pasteur Harold Slade
Captain Guy was a daring seafarer whose legendary adventures rivalled those of the heroes in such Hollywood films as Captain Blood, Down to The Sea in Ships, and Captains Courageous.
- Gordon Lore, author
There will never be another Guy Earle; there couldn't be.
