I remember Mr Garvin as a lovely, kind man and very pleasant. He will be remembered fondly by all his former students.

My years at KLCVI Were truly enhanced by having Mr.Garvin as my art teacher. He helped me to explorer and perfect my art. This was my main interest when I was in school and he helped me to develope my skills through the years. He was a kind, thoughtful and gentle man and I’m sure he will be missed by many…….Thanks Mr. G

So sorry to hear of your loss Kathy. You will have many wonderful memories of your long time together with Ed. Treasure those memories.

Our deepest sympathy to Cathy & family. I knew Ed both as a student and a colleague. Many good memories. Ed will be missed.

Ed was a creative teacher with a great sense of humour…..he was interesting and easy to work with…..his happy character joined right in with the bond of our KLCVI teachers in those special teaching years…..our thoughts and prayers are with you Kathy and your family

Kathy and Family We are very sad to hear the news of Eds passing. He was just starting his teaching career when I was a graduating student and later we were colleagues for many years. He always had a great sense of humour and was a major contributor to what was a wonderful high school ! His great rapport with his students made him a popular and very effective educator. He will always be remembered by his students , colleagues, and many friends. Goodbye Fast Eddy. Our condolences to the Family.Brian and Gale

Our deepest condolences go out to the Garvin family and friends. Janice & Joel

Mr. Garvin taught me at KLC VI. Sad to hear the news of his passing. He was one of out better teachers and entertaining at the same time. God Bless.

As a student during the ’60s at KLCVI I remember Mr. Garvin patrolling the halls and stairwells. As a colleague “Fast Eddie” and I shared the school basement, he in the Art Room and I in AV. Ed always enjoyed the stags held after our annual baseball games at the end of the school year. He had a kind word whenever we spoke. He was a real gentleman. My sincere condolences to the Garvin family.

Please accept our sincere condolences. Eddy brought joy and humour into our staff room at KLCVI and was well respected by our students. Goodbye Ed, you will be remembered as someone special. RIP….Bernie and Tanya Jaworsky

Our thoughts are of you and your children. I remember Ed or ‘Art Garvin’ as we called him, when KLCVI teachers played Sunday night pick-up hockey at the old arena. What a great time to get injured the day before a new school week began. Our prayers are with you.

I think of Eddy I smile. I knew him as a student when I arrived at KLCVI in 1963. I knew him as a neighbour when dad built across the street from he and Kathy.I knew him as a colleague when I returned to Kirkland Lake to teach. He always made me smile. RIP Ed

So sorry to hear of Mr. Gavins passing. He was a caring teacher with a great sense of humor. Marlene and Duncan xo

Kathleen and Family, My Sincere Condolences on Ed’s passing. One of the best teachers I ever had at KLCVI where he taught Economics and History. A very kind man as well always being friendly to everyone. May he Rest in Peace and may God Bless and Comfort each one of you during these difficult days.

Mrs. Garvin, Garry, Ray and Steve, I was so sorry to hear of Mr. Garvins passing. So many memories of us all growing up on Summit together and everyone being out together on the street and your Dad coming down the street to talk to mine about the topic of the day. He was always smiling and ready to chat. Hold on to your memories, they will keep him close by. You are in our thoughts and prayers

So sorry to hear of Eds passing

To the family, esp Gary , Ray and Steve…. sorry to hear about your dad…. Mr Garvin was my Art teacher. He was well liked and always had a smile and a handshake yrs after school. He guided my interest in Art and will always be remembered fondly.

Our condolences to the Garvin family, Ed was always a pleasure to run into and relive some of the past events including his teachings. It was his animated boxing skills that always started a conversation and his humour will be missed.

There are some people you wish could live forever because they light up everyones lives! Ed was that kind of person! I took art for 5 years because he was such a great teacher! We loved to tease each other! Ill never forget you!!!

My deepest condolences to all of you.

I was saddened by Mr. Garvin’s passing. I was one of his students in his class in K.L.C.V.I. He was an excellent teacher and well liked by his students. Kathy, I remember you and your Family as I was raised in the Federal as well. My condolence to you and your lovely Family. God Bless.

So sorry to hear of the passing of Mr. Garvin. Condolences to all!

I am sorry to hear of Ed’s passing. My first teaching job was at KLCVI and Ed was my department head. He and his wife were so kind to me as it was my first time living on my own. He will be missed.

Our heartfelt condolences to the entire family.

Kathy and Family We are sorry to hear about Ed passing away. Please accept our condolences. Ed was a great friend and a good company in our curling years. To some of us , Ed will always be remembered as Fast Eddie or Driver Ed. Our thoughts and Prayer are with you during these difficult times.

So sorry to the Garvin Family i was very shocked to hear of Mr G’s passing. I remember him fondly at KLCVI although he wasnt a teacher of mine. He was a very funny man i got to know him as a teacher and a friend. RIP MR GARVIN !!!

Mr Garvin was my Grade 9 Art teacher at KLCVI. He always had time for all of his students and a great deal of patience. He fostered a love for Art and he had a kind and gentle nature towards us (even though we sometimes didn’t deserve it). He not only taught me Art but a great repect for myself and others. He will be missed.

It is with sadness that we read of Ed’s (or as we called him after he became head of the art department – Art Garvin’s passing. I enjoyed our staff room discussions. Our condolences to the family.
