To Carol and Family. Passing on my deepest sympathies for the passing of Garth. He was a great man, and I have many fond memories of working with him in my early grocery years. He imparted a lot of wisdom of me and many others and had a great sense of humour to boot. Thinking of you all at this time. Kind Regards Ross Martin.
