Sorry for your loss, Garwood. Lee and I went all the way through school together, starting with kindergarden. He was a good classmate and basketball player. Haven't seen him for many years. His friend, Bill Bissonnette.

Sharon and Family, Linda and I are so sad to hear the news of Garwood passing. Garwood and I were brothers. When alone at a horseshoe tournament several players would call me Garwood or they would want to know where my brother was. When you were living in Clio Garwood told me I was one of his best friends. We did a lot of horseshoeing together and some deer hunting also. I sure did miss him when you guys moved . He was a great guy and a good brother. Dan and Linds Brelinski Birch Run , MI

Dear Sharon and family, Garry & I were saddened hearing the news of Garwood’s passing. We enjoyed the friendship we shared at Bayview Terrace. He always made us laugh and always loved to eat good food. Even after leaving Bayview it was a guarantee we would meet up with him somewhere on the beach. We will cherish those memories. You are in our thoughts and prayers. Kate & Garry MIller
