We may have lost an earthly friend but we have gained a guardian angel. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

To Holly and the McGarry's. The brotherhood of Police Officers and the citizens of Horry County, SC, have truly lost one of its finest. My prayers and throughts are with you in your time of grief. Sincerely....

One of the men who stand out way above of all the rest. Have a son and grandson who are in law enforcement. Realize how much they give of their own lives. May God Bless them all.

Joe was one of those SPECIAL people. People you don't ever forget in a lifetime, and yet his lifetime was so short. For his dedication to his job we are all so very grateful. For his love of Myrtle Beach we are even more grateful and so very proud of him. Some people live a lifetime and never make a difference, yet Joe lived a short life and made such a positive everlasting difference to each of us. Mr and Mrs. McGarry you allowed us to come into Joe's life and spend some precious time...
