To The Entire Garland Family-
Shelly was an exceptional man who employed my father Max(Mike)Solway for decades at Garland Brothers. What made Shelly exceptional was that he was far more than just an employer. He was a dear friend to my dad. My dad often said that he thought of Shelly like a brother not a boss. My dad may be gone but my family's graditute and love for Shelly lives on. He was a very special man who will be missed by many. My mom and I are so glad he was a part of my dad's life. When you reflect on all the great things
Shelly accomplished in his life remember the many lives he brightened through his efforts at Garland Brothers. Our deepest sympathy to the entire family. Love, Robin Walovitch and Jeanette Solway
