I had the honour of living with Garth through the thick and thins of life from 1996 to 2005. I loved him and will never forget his true nature. I will always remember him for being genuine. We had the best of life together. I'll remember him for as long as I am fortunate to live. Thank you Garth. - Posted by: Julian Wilson () on: Feb 05, 2014

I was fortunate enough to meet Garth many years ago when I was a younger man and worked for him delivering mail to communities north of Winnipeg. I worked for him at the fishing lodge one summer and considered him to be an honourable and decent man and a friend of mine. I tried contacting him a few years back, but was unable to get a hold of him. It is now June 2013 and searched his name through the internet to look him up and am deeply saddened that he has passed, I regret not being able to connect with him once again to talk to him and let him know how he and Darren and the rest of his family made me feel welcome and treated me great respect. I am very sorry for the family's loss of a great guy and I apologize for not keeping in contact and letting you know that even though I was only a part of your family for a short time, I do appreciate the memories and experiences you and Garth gave me. - Posted by: Keith Carriefe (Friend,Employee) on: Jun 30, 2013
