Uncle Ray was always a class act, down-to-earth and very friendly. He made everyone around him feel welcome and at home. I remember speaking with him three years ago when Aunt Hazel died. He was so sad. It was profoundly plain that he loved her tremendously and missed her terribly. It's hard to believe this much time has passed since that day. I can't make it tomorrow. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. Bill Combs
The family of David W. Mangum wishes to express sympathy to the family of ‘Uncle Ray’ Gary. David loved and esteemed Uncle Ray. Our prayers and thoughts are with all the members of the Gary family at this time.
Ray, Sr. was a true gentleman who represented all that is good about the noble profession of the law. I never knew anybody who disliked him or had a bad word to say about him no matter how contested the case. He embodied the teachings of Christ to “do unto others...” and it made him beloved among his colleagues. He passed this personality on to Ray, Jr who epitomized the faithful son while his father was in a care facility. We visited with Sr. and Jr. just a few months ago and the humor and banter between them was so warm and genuine. Ray, Sr. will be sorely missed by friends and the entire legal community. Rusty and Jan Carlisle
Sincere condolences to the Gary family. Ray was a very rare individual, who loved his family, was true to his friends and served his community well, it was an honor to know him. God Bless
