Bill was born September 25, 1935 in Charleston, South Carolina , son of the late Fred R Garvin and the late Annie Mae Sires Garvin. He was a long time member of Adams Run Baptist Church, where he served as Deacon. Bill was a retired Charleston County Ranger with the SC Forestry Commission. He loved old cars, especially mid-50's Chevrolets, and loved to get together and talk with his friends who also loved old cars. They met every Saturday for lunch. He enjoyed gardening with his brother. They gave away much of what they grew. Bill will be remembered as a loving husband, father, brother, and friend, and he had many, many friends! Bill had a way with people. When he did meet a stranger, he could come up with some comment that would put them at ease. Soon they would be talking like old friends! He never missed an opportunity to lend a helping hand to those who needed it.

In addition to his wife, he is survived by his daughter, Stephanie Garvin; brother, James Edmond (Sandra Lynn) Garvin; brother-in-law, Harry Herrington, Jr. (Trudy); and sisters-in-law, Harriet Newton, and Karen Hughes; and numerous nieces and nephews.

He was preceded in death by two infant daughters, and one infant son.

Memorials may be made to Adams Run Baptist Church.
