He was an incredible class-act guy. He had an amazing 14 year career. I've read that he was quite a leader, respected as a great guy on and off the field. I was so impressed by him at summer training camps over the years. He always had time after practices to sign autographs for the kids. No ego. Some of the big name players would be riding their golf carts ignoring the kids but not Garza... he'd be dripping sweat (some of those days were beastly hot) and you know the guy was shot physically after practice and just wanting to get in the locker room and shower - but he'd sign autographs forever so that the young kids got their autograph before going home. Class act all the way.
weneedmorelinemen says that on top of all of that, the guy's "real" accomplishment was coming up with the super donut (#1 in nutrition you know).
I will never forget the day I ran across those donuts at Jewel. I am pretty sure the picture you see there is my picture I took when I put it on the old board (He Who Shall Not Be Named) and it has roamed the Internet ever since.
FWIW, they were okay donuts. I bought them anytime I was shopping and could find them. They were just too funny to pass up.
