Garry was united in marriage to Ellen Pierpont on February 23, 1968. They were blessed to share 48 years together. To this union two children were born, Janie White and David Guy.

Garry started in the timber business at an early age. He got sawdust in his blood and never got it out. He was the founding member of Guys Logging. He logged with his son, David up until three months before his death. Garry and his family spent many years in the agricultural business, raising and selling strawberries and blueberries.
