He was my fun and creative friend, I never knew what happened to him until recently. the loss is so heart breaking like as if he just left us.

Garrison is featured in a wonderful 28-minute long home video, probably taped in 1990 so, made by his friend Allan Berube(1947-2007), that is in the collection of the GLBT Historical Society, and may be viewed online (right now on Youtube) called Garrison's Grand Tour, in which Allan and Garrison walk around the Castro on a beautiful, hot and sunny day and go to Garrison's apartment and also meet up with Chuck Frutchey (1953-2000) and Steven Speier in their apartment at 574 Castro. The video starts with Allan and Garrison walking to Garrison's apartment at 296 Church street, apparently just having returned from the beach, and doing a tour of the apartment and listening to phone messages while Garrison changes and opens up windows and blinds to let the light and breeze in, and then they walk to Castro street and look at various stores before hanging out with Chuck and Steve and having a very sweet chat. The video ends with Garrison sleeping, or pretending to sleep, naked on his bed at 296 Church, and Allan zooms in on his butt, where he has written filmed by Allan Berube. A very sweet afternoon in the sun that really shows the personalities of everyone in the video.
