He became the local handyman, enjoyed working with wood. He is known for his cork birdhouses and other crafty creations. Hi son Bill describes Garold this way: The consummate teacher, if there was anything, absolutely anything, you needed to know about fixing, building or designing with your hands, he was your man. Need the right tool? He had it. Not know how something went together? He would find out and show you how. He once said, "I can show you how to do this, but I can't teach you to be curious about how to do it." A line that can be applied to many, many things in building, fixing, creating things from scratch or just navigating life. He was curious and eager to share what his curiosity brought him. There are not enough words to describe how many lives he touched and how much he will be missed. Anyone who knew Garold is better for having had him in their life.
