JIM GARNER * CELEBRATION OF LIFE * SAT., AUG. 2 * 6-10:00 PM @ BIG TEX CANTINA in Decatur

Dear Classmates,
By now you may know that we have sadly lost a dear classmate, Jimmy Garner: "James Marshall Garner, of Eatonton, died July 6 after falling at his home. He was 63. H.M. Patterson and Son Spring Hill is in charge of arrangements. In lieu of a memorial service, family members ask that donations be made to Lockerly Arboretum, P.O. Box 310, Milledgeville, Ga. 31059."

Susan Lee Hitchcock, Jim's widow, posted on Facebook: "It is with great sadness that I share the news of my husband, Jim Garner's, death this past weekend. Jim was a special person who was dedicated to education and the promotion of public gardening in America. He was Executive Director of Lockerly Arboretum in Milledgeville, Georgia, where he directed the revival of the grounds over the past six years. He will be remembered as someone with a great sense of humor, fine intellect, and a real vision for Lockerly. He will be greatly missed by friends, family, and colleagues.
