I was a patient of Dr. Garland for over thirty years. He was a great listener and went above and beyond. I still think of how lucky I was to have him as a doctor. My deepest condolences to the family.

I am saddened by the news of Dr. Garland's passing and my thoughts are with his family during this difficult time.
My mom (Patty Bowes) worked for Dr. Garland for many years before her passing in 2006, so I spent a fair amount of time hanging out at the office as a kid! I would help my mom by pulling charts, organizing the books in the waiting room, counting the suckers she kept in her drawer and changing the paper on the tables in the patient rooms! Every time before I left, Dr. Garland would hand me a $5 bill and thank me for my help!
It was always a joy to his smiling face while at the office, and I know my mom enjoyed working for him for all the years she did!

To the Garland girls, I was sorry to see that your dad has passed. Brian was a great family doctor to our family for many years. He became more than our doctor and I always enjoyed the opportunity to chat with him inside or outside the office. My sympathies to you and your families.

I am very much saddened on hearing the news that Dr Garland has passed. He was my mothers Dr when I came into this world and he was my own family Dr all the way through to when he decided to "slow down" a little and cut back his practice in his early 70's. I remember him as being very kind and compassionate and he seemed to really care for his patients. Thank you for being there for me Dr Garland your were certainly one of the good ones!! my sincere condolences go out to your family as they mourn your passing.....

I was saddened to hear of Dr Garland’s passing. He was my physician and aviation medical examiner for 50 years. Almost every pilot in Saint John knew him well and the mention of his name in the flying community would always bring a smile. He was a passionate student of current affairs and politics as well as a great doctor; a life long believer in small government !! I wish to send my own condolences as well as those of many in the local aviation community who recently learned of his passing….thinking of your family and those who were his closest friends at this difficult time.

Gars Family; My heartfelt sympathy on the passing of your Dad & Granddad. Although I was a Class behind Gar at Dal Med School ; he was always more than the life of the party at Phi Rho , our medical fraternity. Could he ever do the twist.. I know from my friends the late Bill Patterson & the always late Mike Keating what an influence he was to the St. John & NB medical community. Saint John will be the poorer for his loss. A man of whom you can all be duly proud.

It was always special when the annual Christmas card photo arrived featuring the three of you. Mom remembers when she was newly married into the Flewelling family your father stating he wanted to be a doctor then, 73 years ago. He fulfilled his dream and became a well-loved Doctor, nephew, and cousin. Hugs.

I was so saddened to read of Brian’s passing. He was an exceptional doctor and a wonderful human. He brought my son into the world 51 years ago and so was my doctor for a very long time. He was also my dad’s doctor and my children’s; so three generations. When he moved his office over Lawtons he had a huge sunflower on the wall in the waiting room. I would tease him and tell him I wanted it if and when he retired. Lo and behold years later right out of the blue I received a phone call from him and he said “it’s time, come and get it.” Bless his heart. Over all the years I would watch you three girls grow up just by all the photos he had on his office walls that got upgraded as you grew. He was so very proud of you.

To the Garland family: I didnt know your Dad as a physician, but I knew him a a wonderful friendly kind and caring man. We lived in Island View Heights ( you girls would babysit my daughter Katie Marti) and whenever I saw Brian coming or going he always had time to stop and say Hello. In recent years I saw him from time to time at the Y, swimming and we always had a friendly chat. My condolences on your big loss.
