Alvin Garrett was a great man. A wise, thoughtful, caring, loving man. At times a man of few words but indeed a wordsmith. Alvin was my Uncle and I love him very much. Life isn't the same without him smiling all the time ;-)

Alvin Garrett was a great man who will be greatly missed.

I have known Alvin for about 10 years in his capacity as an auditor. He was a wondeful person, professional, helpful, and always so clear and communicating his advice with great common sense. I also sensed his courage over the last few years as he battled. I am so sorry for your loss and will pray that God may in time fill the emptiness now that Alvin has left you.

To the family of Alvin Garrett,
I had the great pleasure of working with Alvin for many years. I am very fortunate that he has left me with great insight both professionally and personally that I can apply on a daily basis. Alvin was my auditor at two different companies and he was such a pleasure. His life was full and he is no longer suffering. Remain blessed in his honor.
