Whereas, he was admitted to practice law in the United States Supreme Court, the United States Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals, the United States District Court, the District of South Carolina, and the South Carolina Supreme Court; and

Whereas, retired as a circuit judge, he has been a certified mediator and arbitrator since 2004, and he served his profession as a member of the South Carolina Bar Association and was the founding master of the Haynsworth-Perry Inn of Court; and

Whereas, in 1992, he taught a general jurisdiction course at the National Judicial College and was an assistant professor at Greenville Technical College from 2005 to 2008; and

Whereas, he served on the Circuit Judges Advisory Committee from 1995 to 2002 and as Circuit Judge At Large, Seat 5, from 1992 to 2002. He served as assistant general counsel for Extended Stay America, Inc., and Extended Stay Hotels from 2002 to 2005; and

Whereas, he authored The Capital Trial Bench Book for Circuit Judges in 1999 and coauthored The South Carolina Capital Trial, first and second editions in 2000 and 2009 and the Criminal Trial Bench Book in 2002; and

Whereas, together with his beloved wife, Patricia Brumbach, he reared two fine children, Adair Clary Pederson and Lawson Brumbach Clary, and when away from his duties in the House of Representatives, he resides in Central; and

Whereas, an active member of Clemson United Methodist Church and deeply involved in his community, he is a life member of Sertoma International, has been a member of Rotary Club of Clemson since 2010, and was honored as a Paul Harris Fellow; and

Whereas, he has faithfully served the citizens of District 3 in Pickens County in the House of Representatives since 2015, during which time he has served on the Judiciary and Legislative Oversight committees; and

Whereas, in all of his service, he has provided clear and concise contributions to deliberations in this Chamber; and

Whereas, the members of the House of Representatives will miss the keen and purposeful service that Gary Clary, their friend and colleague, has given to the House of Representatives and hope that he will enjoy deep fulfillment in the years to come. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:

That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, recognize and commend the Honorable Gary E.
