From the time Ross and I became friends early in Junior High School till long after college, Richard Garvey was one of those parents I always looked up to. A successful business owner, a proud family father of two of the greatest guys I’ve ever known… You will be missed dearly and I hope you know how much you meant to the people around you.. Rest in peace Mr Garvey..
May you all find peace. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you at this difficult time.
Mr Garvey was always great to me from when I first met him as his paperboy to when he invited me out on the boat and I slipped off. Every time I had the pleasure of talking to him at his home or at an event he never had a bad thing to say. God bless him and his family. The thoughts of you are with me and my family and you are in our prayers.
To the Garvey famiy. God is given support to all who are falling, and is raising up all who are bowed down. Please accept our sincere condolences.
