Thanks to John Garrard, he told me how to buy what I needed without having to spend all my savings.He was also my husband, Herman’s math teacher when he was in the 11th. grade in Atmore. I have dealt with John on many occasions. He took care of my money in the bank and I never missed a penny in over 20 years that I dealt with him. There is nobody whose word I would take over John Garrard. He is a tried and true friend to anyone who is honest in their dealings with him.
I am so proud of John getting the Lifetime Award. There is nobody more deserving of it. Congratulations, John.
Congratulations Mr. Garrard (John). You have always been such a nice person. You are very deserving of this award.
Congratulations Mr. John. You have been such a good friend to me and to others in the community. This Lifetime Achievement Award speaks volumes about character and Christian values. Thanks for our longtime friendship and working relationship.

John Garrard is a wonderful man. He is a great role model and leader. I have nothing but respect and love for this man. He is a great choice for a lifetime achievement award. My family wishes him well, and hope to see him soon.
