"Garth was a great guy and had a lot of fun with doing the Census a number of years ago in the Elton & surrounding areas. My thoughts, prayers and deepest sympathy to all of his family"

"Kimberly, I wanted to send my sympathies. I got to know your dad when I worked at Rosalia Gardens. He was quite a character. He was so proud of you and your children and spoke about you often. What an honor it was to be a part of his journey. Peace be with you and your family. "

"A part of my life for 60 years I will always think kindly of my brother in law. Guff enjoyed a good joke with a lift of the eyebrows and expectant look in his eyes as he waited for your laughter. He tickled himself as much as others with his humor and this love of fun and life is his legacy to his daughter and grandchildren. May you Rest In Peace with Donna at your side. I will see you again."

"When Kim and I were little, we would run from Uncle Guff and I would tell, ?Don?t tickle us? while Kim yelled ? don?t tickle us, Dad!? Of course he would gather us up and tickle us mercilessly. I will miss him so much but have the BEST memories of an uncle who truly loved me."

"I have a simple piece of notebook paper with some of Garth's artwork. He came into the office after driving one day and drew me a picture. It was a picture frame and inside he drew cans of Dr Pepper, 7up, and I think Coke. He hands it to me and says, "What is that?" I was co fused and he went on to tell me it was, "Pop art". I always called him my little man Garth. "
