COMPEER TRIBUTES
HONORING OUR MENTORS, FRIENDS,
FAMILY AND COMMUNITY



I
n Honor of Mrs. Pat Garman…

I met Mrs. Garman when I started working for her husband Richard in 1987.  It was clear, even then that her focus was on the less fortunate.  As a therapist, she was able to help people in many different areas of their lives.  She continues to do what seems to be her “calling” in her participation in the Compeer organization.  Pat and Richard Garman will always have a special place in my heart and her recognition for her actions is well deserved and appreciated by many.
                                                                                                                                     -Sal Castro
