He was an avid golfer, enjoyed watching and attending football and hockey games and also loved spending time on the beaches of Maui with Joan and his boys. He also liked to spend time with his friends, some of who described him as a jovial man with whom he had many toasts over the years with a cider and, lots of ice! As a family would like to extend a special thank-you to Dr. Faulkner and Dr.Ahmad for taking special care of Garth. We will love and miss him always. A private family memorial will be held.
