VERNON G. GARRETT Jr.

I have been reminded many times of the great love he had for Baylor. He led many others to be more interested in Baylor on a daily basis. He never missed a chance to go to Baylor and be a part of all the activities going on and to encourage others to do the same.

Vernon was so special to so many people. He made each of us feel as if we were the most important person to him, as he comforted us. I will never forget Vernon being in the hospital and sneeking down a couple of floors to check on me. We really laughed until they caught him and made him go back. Vernon will always live in my heart.

Aunt Yvonne. My prayers are with you. I was truly blessed by Uncle Vernon. He will always be dear to me. Mimi

Yvonne, many pleasant memories of Vernon entered my mind as I learned of his passing. Most of all, I recall Vernon's dedication to Baylor University, where I was privileged to join Arthur Andersen's on-campus Baylor recruiting team. Vernon treated me like a Baylor alumnus...and somehow had me listed as a Baylor graduate! To this day, I still receive mail and telephone calls from Baylor, assuming I am a graduate. Vernon shall remain, in my memory, one of the most delightful individuals I...

Vernon was a mentor, friend, and fellow traveler. He put together many wonderful cruises with Yvonne's help. He will be missed by so many. Yvonne, our prayers and greatest blessings are with you and your family.

Like Harold and so many others, my professional career began with Mr. Garrett at AA&Co. I was fortunate to work very close with Vernon when the Small Business Practice was created back in '68. What a great man. May his memory fill your hearts and minds with joy during the years to come.

USA has lost another member of the :Greatest Generation".

We would like to extend our deepest condolenses to Yvonne and the family. We are grateful to have known such an extraordinary man. As a "boss" he inspired and as a friend he provided support beyond words.

I've only known Vernon and Yvonne for the 2 years we've lived at University Place. Vernon was a calm and pleasant influence on those around him. He'll be missed by all of his neighbors at UP.
