Not sure what to say?

I will miss Judge Garth more than he knows. It was always a pleasure when he visited me for his hearing needs. When he left my office I felt that I was a better and more informed person for having had a chance to converse with him. He missed Sarah so much and now they are reunited.

My dear Tobie, I knew your father and mother before you were born and they have been cherished friends all these many years. You and your beautiful family have received a truly wonderful legacy in the examples their lives have set before you. May you receive comfort from all those memories in these difficult days. Doris Coster

Such a grand life he lived with such a wonderful family. Cherish all the great times! Our thoughts and prayers for the family.

Mrs, Meisel. I had pleasure of getting to know both of your parents when I worked at Evergreen Woods. They were both special people. I was able to visit the Judge for an evening when he was recently in the health center. As usual, we decided that we could solve the political state that the country is in. We laughed and smiled along with sharing news about our families.
To you and your family, I extend my deepest sympathy. Your dad will truly be missed.

My condolences to the family. Judge Garth and Sarah were neighbors and friends of my parents at Evergreen Woods in Branford. Their friendship with my parents, and times they shared with my brothers and I was greatly appreciated and is warmly remembered.
