THE WALL OF FACES

I am a few years younger than Garfield, but we rode the schoolbus together from Sound Ave to Riverhead High School. I also remember Garfield's quiet and very polite personality as he removed weeds from strawberry plants when he worked on my father's farm in the summer. I worked along side him on many occasions and will always remember him and his family's sacrifice.

YOU ARE NOT FORGOTTEN

NOR SHALL YOU EVER BE

Hi Gar,
You were one quiet guy in school but you spoke volumns in your bravery. May God watch over you.

I TOO REMEMBER THIS BRAVE SOLDIER. I KNEW HIM AND HIS FAMILY VERY WELL, AND STILL KEEP CLOSE CONTACT WITH THEM. HIS PARENTS ARE VERY MUCH INVOLVED IN VETERANS ACTIVITIES ON LONG ISLAND. A FINE YOUNG MAN WHO LEFT BEHIND FOND MEMORIES OF ALL THOSE THAT KNEW HIM.
