[Garrett0814.FTW]
My father was a very good dad and husband. He was born and raised in
Castleberry, Alabama. He left Castleberry to work at the tire and rubber
company owned by Oscar Skinner in Springfield, Ohio some time in the mid
1930s. Mt dad's first cousin, Everett Marshall Garrett was also working
at the rubber company and was married to Margaret Lois Douglas. My dad
met her younger sister, Martha Geraldine Douglas at their home and they
were married in 1938. After the rubber company closed, they stayed in
Springfield. My dad worked several years at the Thompson Grinder company.
He left there to work at Dayton Tire & Rubber Company in Dayton, Ohio
from July 27, 1950 until his retirement in May of 1975. We moved to
Dayton in April, 1953.
During the fall or winter of 1989 he became ill with bronchitus. After
being admitted to Mercy Hospital in Springfield, Ohio, it was discovered
he had suffered a heart attack some months prior to that and was not
aware of it. He was given up to two years to live. He only made it for 9
months.
