Not sure what to say?

Sincere condolences to the Wood family. Garland was, indeed, a pioneer in one of the most esoteric niches of Wall Street. Even today, there are only a dozen professionals who specialize in "advanced refundings" a highly-mathematical financing technique Gar developed. He was a worthy, dignified competitor during my years at a rival firm.

My name is Paris. I was one of the original Central Park Rollers and lived up the block from him. He had a friend Big Mike as a room mate at the time. A brownstone at 105th west side. Corner house. Quite a character. Lovely man. So sorry to see this so long after but Garland, you did life your way. God Bless.

Pioneer eventhough I didn't know you was one of my financial heroes RIH

To the Wood family--Garland was a great person---RIP---Gregory Johnson

Dear Family Members, I only learned of Garland's passing and am so sorry for your loss.I knew him in the 1980's as a neighbor and friend in NYC where he had his spectacular brick town home. We also had the bond market and economics in common and he was a leader in fixed income markets. His generousness and intelligence made him great company and his openness and acceptance of all types.
I also remember the daughters as young and beautiful girls.

Dear Wood Family,

Please accept my sincere condolences. I am so saddened to learn of Garland's passing. He was a great mentor and a fantastic dinner companion. No matter how tight his schedule, Garland would make time for a friend. I will always cherish his intelligence, charm, and sophistication. I feel fortunate to have known such a classy gentleman.

To the Wood family - I knew Garland as a young child in the 70's and 80's and a young NYC professional in the 90's. My mother was his Executive Assistant for nearly a decade. Garland was always kind and considerate to me, and I have the fondest of memories of him. I am so sorry for your loss.

Dear Woods Family,

It was with deep sadness that I learned of Garland's passing.

I had heard of his being ill earlier. He and many of you were such an important part of my life.

I send you all the warmest of thoughts and my prayers.

Dear Wood Family,
I am so sorry to read about Garland's passing. My deepest condolences to you all. He was a kind friend to me.
I met Garland when I was in college working a summer job at Goldman Sachs.Coincidentally,we had a mutual friend who I went to college with. He hired me later when I started my decorative painting company and I created a painted wall treatment in his home. I used to take European friend's of his on tours of NYC. We thought of making a business out of it but...
