On this date in 1897, John William Garrett Clary was born.

My great-grandfather was called by one of his two middle names, Garrett, and for nearly all his life by the nickname, Skinny.

Grandpa Garrett was a unique, hands-on great-grandfather who loved to tell stories and play practical jokes. However, the best practical jokes were the ones in which he was mostly the target. He was a damned good sport!

Garrett Clary scored a century of life and made the world all the more richer and fun.
