William L. Garrett

Condolences to the whole family. He was a gentleman through and through. God bless you all.

Bill ("Billy") was the first friend my big brother and I made when we moved next door to his family in about 1963; he came over and introduced himself right away. The three of us spent a lot of time together as kids - tramping through the woods, building camps, exploring our subdivision, playing touch football... he even let me play with his Tonka trucks. He was one of the friendliest people I've ever met, filled with honest goodwill towards others, and I feel grateful and blessed to have known him. My sincere condolences to his family. (I've included a photo of him with my big brother, Stephen.)
