Gail, Phil and the Garrett Family:

So Sorry for your loss. It was a real pleasure to see his happy smile, cheerful
greeting and warm handshake every Sunday
at Church. We will miss him.
Peace, Love and Prayers.

Dear Garrett Family, Frank & I were blest to know & love Nina & Floyd Garret! One of my happiest memories was of our camping trips to the Miner's Club; on one occasion when Frank & Floyd were cooking breakfast for us ( 6 kids for each family/ 12 kids all together) Floyd looked at Frank and said " these can't all be our kids, they must be coming from another camp site". We had good times. Sheila Kinsella

At Earl's funeral

Sincere condolences to Floyd's family. I forget where or when I first met Floyd. Perhaps it was after my folks moved to Ingalls Park. Perhaps it was during 7th or 8th Grade at Washington Grade School. I'm thinking that at one time Floyd played in either the G.S. or JTHS band....maybe clarinet. I know he was a wrestler. I recall his getting into the ceramic tile trade and his service at Abraham Lincoln Cemetery. So long friend.

So sorry for your loss. We had some fine adventures going to the tile conventions together. The one in Dallas/Ft. Worth was especially fun.
Nina and my wife Renee had some good laughs. We will remember him fondly.
