Don Garber is my dad. When I was a kid I couldn't wait until he came home from work. We would play catch or throw the football or even play hockey in the winter. He taught me more than just about sports. He taught me about truth, honesty, integrity and how to treat other people. In other words he taught me how to be a man. All that I am I owe to him, I wish everyone had a dad like mine. So good bye for now, I will see you again in paradise. Love, Mark
