Not sure what to say?

Garth was a kind and gentle soul and will be missed by all in our office. We will treasure the beautiful art work he gave each one of us. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family.

Dr Khalil, Dr Ghanem and office staff.

I'll miss you Garth. You were a hoot to hang around during my visits. Our many conversations were always interesting. Your Bertolli dinners were delicious! Thank you for those times! I'm sad you left so quickly, you fought so hard and I didn't want you to leave. I enjoyed you being here. I was grateful you were here with Alex. I will miss you deeply. Take care my friend. I'll be seeing you on the other side soon enough.

I am a friend of Alexandria Garth's sister. I met Garth only once but it only took that one time to know he was a special person. I did get to view his work at the Getty museum and was very impressed as I am sure everyone was. My heart goes out to Alex and his family I know he will be missed dearly by everyone he knew and that knew him. May he rest in peace.

I've known Garth for over forty years. During much of that time we were very close. When my wife and I married, Garth came to the wedding in Sacramento. Whether he was struggling as a scenic artist or experiencing the success that he worked so hard to achieve he retained a self effacing modesty about his work. Later, my son Bob, had the privilege of working for him at the Getty. Garth was always a conscientious father and a delight to be around. We will always have the fondest memories of...

I will miss you Garth; You had such a sweet and gentle spirit and always had a smile on your face. The good news is I know I will see you again someday:)

I am heartbroken with the news of my friend of 57 years' death. He was talented beyond belief and the art world has lost a shining star. We went to Disneyland the year it opened and shared so many things over the years. He used to imitate Elvis Presley in our family room, he drew posters for me when I ran for office back in our Palmdale High School years and he entertained and charmed everyone he ever met. Kind, handsome, talented, funny - a wonderful, wonderful man whom I will miss for...

You were my best friend and the keeper of my childhood memories. I'll love you forever.
You Sis,
Alex
