VIDEO: Funeral services are set this Saturday at 10 a.m. at New Life Baptist Church in Davenport for the mayor of Blue Grass. Larry Guy passed away on Tuesday. He was not the only mayor but in the past had also served more than a as a council member and 36 years as a volunteer firefighter. The American flag in Blue Grass proudly waved at half-staff to honor him Thursday. Police Chief Garrett Jahns says Guy was instrumental in getting the public safety building built. “His selfless service that he's given. You know, above and beyond the average person is just incredible,” he said. His uniform and helmet now sit at the fire department's library on a table he restored. It's the same table that survived a fire that burned down the fire department in 1967. “He was very dedicated to this department and this community. He loved doing it,” said Fire Chief Brian Seamer.
