Dr. Edward L. Garr

Dr. Edward L. Garr was born in Manhattan, New York, on May 20, 1938, and died Monday April 16, 2019 at St. Joseph’s hospital where he dedicated 40 years as an Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Surgeon and Wound Care Doctor.  The Service will be on May 4th at 1:30pm at the Sacred Heart Chapel at the Sisters of St. Joseph on the Sisters of St. Joseph grounds at the Mother House.  Ed is survived by his loving wife, 2 children, 3 grandchildren, and his brother and sister. Ed believed that laughter and humor were very important remedies in the healing process. And he said, in his comical way, “Life was good, life was great. Glad to know you, Sorry I’m late!”
