Garrett was one of the classiest people in High School sports. In my few years of covering high school hockey I never met a more kind person who was always accomodating to visiting writers.

To the Reagan Families,may I offer my condolences and prayers.I first met Garrett,playing hockey Sunday mornings at the cohasset winter gardens.What a bunch of wonderful men ,[they were to name a few,Ed Taylor,Peter Cooney,Curt Flood,Jack Graham.God rest all their souls.] Many mornings I skated on the same line with Garrett,he always worked his tail off and had great fun.Though in those days on some sunday mornings,we may have been paying the fiddler ,for our activities the night before.I was
thrilled and happy,that Garrett took over the great Hingham High Hockey Program.It was the right choice.He was smart ,kind ,tough,a nd understated. I will never forget him..merciful JESUS grant Garrett eternal rest.

Brother Robert and wife Judy I am sorry for your loss. As a young man in Belmont I looked up to the Reagan's and enjoyed watching the "twins" and their close friend "Moon" man win all those hockey games. I am thinking of you both.

What a tremendous loss. Just a few days ago, I spent some time with Garrett at the high school reunion party and he had me laughing to the point of tears-what a good guy he was. My sympathy to the entire family.

To the Reagan Family -

My deepest sympathy.

I only knew Garrett from the times we played hockey against each other in the Cohasset Executive Hockey League for many years. He was a gentleman and good sportsman. Our prayers are with you all.

My deepest condolences to the entire Reagan family. As a coach, Garrett built a tradition of excellence with the Hingham hockey program. More importantly, he mentored so many of us as young men. I will always be grateful for the years I spent playing hockey for him and for what he taught us all about hard work, discipline, and class. Garrett will truly be missed by so many of us.

I'm very sad to hear of the Coach's passing. I played for him and it is a shock. I think it was his presence that makes it so difficult to believe. He was a serious coach, but he was a very good man and very nice to his former players.

With our deepest sympathy on behalf of the HHS athletic program.
Garrett was a true friend and mentor.
He always conducted himself with pride, class and dignity. He was an outstanding coach and person. A hockey legend in winning state titles, super "8" appearances, state sportsmanship awards, and always competing at a high level. It was an honor and a priviledge to be his athletic director and friend.

Dennis Clinton

A fine coach and a finer person. I was fortunate to be coaching in the same fraternity in Hingham. We'll all miss him.
