Jeff was a kind and patient mentor to me when we both worked as lab techs (while in dental school) for a local orthodontist. He was a year ahead of me, but always treated me as a capable equal. Great guy! My condolences and prayers to his family and loved ones.

Grover was a great dental school classmate. My favorite memory was driving with him on a spring break ski trip freshman year to winter park through a snowstorm in his triumph TR-6 with the skis sticking out the side of the "trunk" It was a crazy good trip. Godspeed Grover, rest in peace

Sheila & family, I am very sorry & sad to hear about the loss of Jeff. Grover was one of my favorite dental classmates at Creighton. We shared lots of laughs through those times & enjoyed Jeff's competitive spirit on our intramural teams. Jeff always had that great smile & happy go lucky attitude. I will always cherish those memories! My thoughts & prayers are with you & family.

Sheila and family, I cannot say enough how sorry I am to hear of Dr. Garvey's passing. I was such a great and employer and an even better friend. I fondly remember my years at Midlands Dental (Southroads Dental and then Timber Ridge). My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Covid quarantine will keep me away from the visitation and funeral, but I will be thinking of all of you.
