I want to share my dad's obituary

[mvd]

I waited a while because it's been painful. The house seems so empty without him. I left out last names:

Garrett, age 72, loving husband of Donna, of Royersford, Pennsylvania, passed away peacefully on Friday, January 18, 2019 in Seasons Hospice at Phoenixville Hospital. Born on September 21, 1946 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, he was the son of the late Eugene & Winifred (Clark).

Garrett worked for many years as a Research Scientist at NIH and the Kimmel Cancer Center in Philadelphia in the chemistry field, an occupation in which he was very proud of. Garrett received his undergraduate degree from the Lehigh University in 1968, and would later go on to study at the Pennsylvania State University, where he would acquire his P.H.D in chemistry in 1973. He also served his country proudly as a Lieutenant in the Army Reserves.

In addition to his loving wife Donna, Garrett was the loving father to his son Matthew;

Garrett was also survived by one brother, and one sister.

Services will be held privately at the convenience of the family. Condolences may be made by visiting www.RoyersfordFuneralHome.com. Arrangements are being handled by the Cattermole - Klotzbach Funeral Home, Royersford, Pennsylvania.

10. Your Dearest Dad is a remarkable man! As a fellow Pennsylvanian, please accept my

sorrow on the loss of your wonderful Father. Until two years ago, we lived just 15 minutes from Phoenixville but are still in Chester County. I know you have wonderful memories that you shall forever cherish.

11. I'm so sorry.

Your dad was a wonderful man, a father to be proud of.

My mother passed last month at 93.5yrs old. I was born in 1946, so I feel your dad was too young to leave.
