Services for W.G. "Dub" Garrard, 76, of Itta Bena, who died Wednesday, Nov. 3, 2004, at University Medical Center in Jackson of injuries sustained in an Oct 29 automobile accident at the intersection of US. 82 and Sunflower Road, will be at 1 p.m. Saturday at the Greenwood Church of God.
Mr. Garrard was a retired welder and former owner of Garrard Welding Service in Itta Bena. He was born in Carroll County on Oct 21, 1928, one of eight children born to the late Levi Moses and Alma Teal Garrard. He learned the value of hard work at a young age and spent most of his youth helping to support his family,
He worked for Barrentine Manufacturing for a few years until he was able to start his own business in 1964. His son, Douglas "Dubby" Garrard, worked with his father in the business until his death in 1998.

Mr. Garrard was a charter member of the Greenwood Church of God, where he had been a Sunday School teacher and was very active in many of the church's activities. His family says that his role as husband, father, grandfather, brother and friend was a model of true Christian love.
