Farewell to my friend Bill Garrett. I hope you ride in the fields of heaven with bunch-grass belly high. Gather up Cassey Tibbs, Freakles Brown and Rue Garrett. Find the shoot boss and tell him to run in Bodacious. We all know you could ride him! I will never forget what you taught me about ridin' bulls and I will never forget you. Thank you! R.I.P. Cowboy!
