A man too kind for this world, yours was a life that was not only God’s gift to you, but to the rest of us as well. You will be missed by more people than you could’ve imagined.
Garfield was a beacon of friendship at
Fort Sanders Hospital. I had the pleasure
of working with him for 30 years. He was
very close to my former partners, Drs Wm Muse Sr. &
Wm Muse Jr. Garfield was loved by all!! God bless
his soul. J. Parks Hitch, Jr MD.
