Mr. Garrett will be missed. We all have lost contact for years but the all the Garretts were like an extended family to us. I remember him sitting on the front porch on 60th street with Mrs. Garrett wearing his baseball at. I've missed you all. He is in a better place now and led a long meaningful life with a wonderful wife, kids, grandkids and plenty of friends old and new.
