    To Garrett's family. We are so sad to hear of his passing. He has been a friend over the years from Flat Rock High. Mrs Sinclair used to call Garrett and Fred twins. We couldn't see it but didn't mind. You have our deepest sympathy and prayers. Juanita and Fred Beddingfield, Jr. Indian Harbour Beach, Fl 32937
