A nicer man you’ll never find

Caring, loving, strong and kind

Garth always had this laid-back style

A selfless dad with the greatest smile

A Rider fan, he loved to cheer

With transistor replay in his ear

Come rain or shine, it was all the same

He’d NEVER miss a Rider game

Garth loved all nature, the birds and geese

He loved his sons and his only niece

And truth be told throughout his life

He adored his “babe” his loving wife

A family man with a heart of gold

The joy he gave will never get old

To the end he was a fighter, gave his illness a ride

We love you, see you on the other side

……. loving you ALWAYS
