Not sure what to say?

My principle at Foreman H.S. Condolences to his family. I didn't know him too well but he did a good job. May he rest in peace.

My principal at Foreman High School.

He was a very good principal at Foreman. He was well liked. I did not know he was only two years older than me. His first wife was elegant and very well liked. Prayers for his family and heavenly days from all of us who were teachers when Garvey was our principal Sandralee Rahn Nordquist

Offering our deepest sympathies during this time.

Dr. Garvey was my principal at Oscar Mayer. I have two fond memories of him. I remember when he saw me in the hall way and offered me condolences when my dad died. I was 7 years old at the time (1979) my father passed and I remember crying in the moment. My second memory is kind of a funny one, I remember staying up late and watching Nightline and then saw Dr. Garvey being interviewed by Ted Koppel because of the teacher strike in the early 80´s. When I told him I saw him on TV he asked me...

I am sorry for your loss. Joe was a wonderful neighbor to my parents, and friend to my sister, Mary Grace Powell, at Sasser House.

To the entire Immediate and extended family Dr. Garvey has had a profound impact on so many including myself, To all or you , my deepest condolences and prayers, may you find comfort and joy in the memories you all have created together and celebrate his life.

Dr. Garvey was a great man, leader and principal. It was a pleasure working with you. Thank you for 11 years at Foreman High School. You will be missed but never forgotten. R.I.P. Dr. G

Dr. Garvey was the most incredible, honorable and kind person I have ever met in my life. I owe him a debt of gratitude as a former student, teacher, and finally a friend for life. Dr. Garvey, you will always hold a special place in my heart. Love you and will miss you. Marzena (Marcy) Mlynarski Deepest condolences for the Garvey Family
