I was deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Dr. William Garrity. He was not only my trusted physician for many years but also a dear friend whose compassion and wisdom touched my life in profound ways.
Bill was instrumental in the care, support, and guidance he provided to my late wife during her courageous journey through cancer. His empathy, dedication, advocacy and quiet strength brought both of us great comfort during the most difficult of times. I will always remember him with deep respect and enduring gratitude.
To Agnes, Heather and his entire family, please accept my heartfelt condolences. My thoughts and prayers are with your family as you navigate this tremendous loss. His kindness and humanity will be remembered by all who had the privilege of knowing him.
He will rest in peace with God in heaven.

We always felt so warmly welcomed by William and felt more like friends and family than simply patients. He always treated us care and the true caring for us I've never experienced with any other caregivers. His knowledge and ability to care holistically was beyond compare. We will miss you Dr. And Agnes was a big part of that care that made us feel so welcome and confident. We will miss you dearly. What a wonderful experience it's been and and honor to have known all of you. Love and prayers.

Our hearts are sad and heavy upon the sudden passing of this kind man. He has been our doctor for many years, someone who cared deeply for us as he did for all of his patients. We could always count on him to make time or squeeze us in last minute no matter what time or how busy the office was that day. (thank you Agnes) We´ll miss the security of knowing he´s there, the light hearted banter/laughs we shared in the office or on a telemedicine call as well as the more serious conversations we had.
We will never forget the genuine interest dr GARRITY took in our sons medical education/career through the years - he always took the time to ask how he was doing. He would sometimes give us a medical question to "quiz" him on - always teaching. He would often say " tell Nathan I´m proud of him." - I truly believe he was because he knew what it took and because he loved/ believed in Osteopathic medicine so strongly and knew our son felt the same.
Our deepest sympathy to his beloved family, Agnes and to all who knew him.
Rest in peace Dr GARRITY, you will be missed!

Dr. Garrity's passing saddens me. I saw him for almost 20 years, and his care and concern for his patients was overwhelming. He helped me through many hurdles over the years, and I will miss him greatly. He recently showed great concern for me as well as for my daughter over my husband's sudden passing. Please know that I care and am sending my deepest condolences and prayers for your grieving.

I have been a patient of Dr Garrity since he was a chiropractor in Westfield, MA many years ago. I am deeply saddened.
He was truly remarkable and will be missed by countless people, not only for his compassion but his infinite medical knowledge.
He have saved so many people. We had many laughs over the years and he loved his family deeply. We will ALL miss him since there is no one like him.
My heart goes out to all his family who, I am sure, was as shocked as we all were.
Sincerely heartbroken for your loss.

As a very long time friend and patient of Bill's, I started seeing him when he had a small office in Westfield Ma, I was deeply saddened by his sudden passing.
Bill touched a lot of people and those that knew him loved him dearly. We will all be hard pressed to find anyone for our care that even comes close.
My deepest sympathy's go out to Bill's Family and friends he will be deeply missed.
RIP my friend.
