William P. Garvey

What great time we had at your celebration of life! Many young nubile boys were on hand and many hot dogs were eaten!! Even a token dog catcher in drag came!!

A celebration of life will be celebrated during the summer of '24 for my old friend Bill. Plans are still evolving but attendance by invitation only (no chief dog catchers)!

My old friend Bill, how I miss you! Your warm touch. I can't wait to see you and feel your warm hand again! See you soon.

There will be a Mass in your honor at St John's next week in your honor. I really miss our out of town motel trips. Thanks eternally!

'Garv' was a true visionary for educational access for all, through his support for Mercyhurst College Career Institute (MCCI), Mercyhurst Northeast, ECTI, and NPTI. It was a pleasure to work with him for some 20+ years . 'Go quietly in the night', my mentor, my friend. John Nesbit

Last Wednesday I received a text from a friend in Erie informing me of the passing of Dr. Garvey. I was quite sad to hear this news as I have the greatest respect and admiration of him.

To all who knew Dr. Garvey we send our condolences. We met Bill and his companion Maureen when on a trip from Ireland as part of the Dungarvan Town Twinning committee and dined in his house. It was our pleasure to meet both Bill and Maureen. An exceptional host and wealth of information. We met on a number of occasions and were always warmly greeted and entertained.
