In 1961/62, Jimmy Johnson and I were, perhaps the most maladroit defense pairing ever to skate for the Fort Erie Junior B hockey team.
We were saved time and again by the sensational goaltending of Lynn Zimmerman who I am sure breathed a sigh of relief when one, or sometimes both of us, were sent to the penalty box were we could no longer block his vision.
I have not laid eyes on him in these past fifty five years, but Red, as we called him then, was, and remains in my memory, as one of the funniest guys I have ever known.
Rest in peace old pal.

I have so many fond memories of Garb. He was a friend. He could be a tough boss but was always fair. He would also give encouragement when a job was well done. I think he didn’t mind if you thought of him as gruff and intimidating but he was really a very kind man at heart. I will miss bumping into him and catching up with him and sharing a laugh or two about the good old days at the Town. My deepest sympathies go out to you Dee and your boys Matthew, Aaron and Christopher.
From Wesley Stickland and family.
