Dr. McGarry served the Mississippi Gulf Coast for more than three decades as a forensic pathologist in Harrison, Hancock, Jackson, and Stone Counties. Dr. McGarry was also the only person on the Coast who performed autopsies.
Gary Hargrove, Harrison County Coroner, says, “He was a great friend to me over the years. I’ve been knowing Doc for 35 years. Not only did he become my friend, but he became my mentor, and I looked at him like he was a second dad. I know when my dad passed away a couple years ago, Doc was there for me to talk to about some things that had gone on.”
Visitation for Dr. McGarry will be held Thursday morning from 10 to 11 a.m. at Schoen & Son Funeral Home on Canal Street. McGarry will then be laid to rest at St. Paul’s Cemetery.
