Shellie Garrett Jr.

Shellie, thank you for your friendship, and for your service to our country in the U.S. Army. You were always generous in sharing your knowledge of military history and opera. I especially remember when you invited me to a meeting of the Sacramento Seminar political roundtable at North Beach restaurant. I miss your erudition and wisdom already.

You were always so knowledgeable in anything any of us talked with you about You were definitely a wealth of information. You will be missed! Rest in Peace Shellie!

Shellie was a true friend. While working on opposite sides of the aisle, we communicated with respect. We golfed, shared a love of history and love of country. Shellie was a rational, reasonable and honest conservative. We will miss his wisdom, knowledge and sense of humor. Our loss cannot be overstated. He was a great human being.

I will miss not seeing Shellie walking through the hallways of The Park with his bright smile and his more than willingness to share his knowledge with all who he meets. I admired his strength in all that he had gone through and was going through during the hard time that he lived as a neighbor of mine. He was strong. He was sweet and generous. He was able to teach by his knowledge as if he were an encyclopedia himself. I not only will miss him, but I will think of him often. I am so happy...

I remember Shellie Garrett from my years at the University of San Francisco. He was a gentleman, engaging, bright and nice to be around. Condolences to the family during this sad time. Such a courageous brave fight to live.

A fine man who loved his family above all. The world needs more Shellie Garretts
