He retired from Sunshine Biscuits in the year of 2000 after 27 years of service.

"Boot" as he was affectionally known was a simple man with an exemplary work ethic. He lived by the ethos "you get what you pay for". During his working years, while Sunshine Biscuits was his primary employer he simultaneously owned and operated a janitorial business where he often employed family and friends in their time of need. He was a giver, quiet, but wise. If you ever spent anytime with pops and he enjoyed your company you would definitely be given a nickname. Most of all he was a storyteller no matter the occasion, pops always had a story to tell.

Mr. Gary was preceded in death by his parents, Richard Gary and Jessie B.Gary; two brothers, Richard Gary, Jr. and Robert Gary.

He leaves to cherish his precious memories his children, Annie Franklin and Pamela Brooks both of Phenix City, AL, Ronnie (Schelcy) Allen of Smiths Station, AL, CSM (R) Jerry D.
