Obituary of Garry Bach, Sr. Garry Wayne Bach, Sr., 72, of Bushnell, Florida passed peacefully into the arms of our Lord on Sunday, May 10, 2015. He was born in Howell, Michigan on June 24, 1942. He was raised in Fowlerville, MI, and spent many years living and working in the surrounding townships. He lived in the Dickson, Tennessee area for approximately 8 years before re-locating to Bushnell, FL. In his early years, he worked on and operated a dairy farm before discovering a lifelong passion for asphalt paving and running heavy equipment. He first shared that love with his son, David Sr., and later with his son, Garry, Jr. He opened his own paving company in Michigan, as well as several car washes and mini-storages. After moving to Florida with his wife and son, Garry Jr, he opened Garry's Rental in Bushnell in 1997. He continued to build, own, and operate several businesses in town, including Sunshine Jiffy Lube, Craig's Pawn Shop, and Bach Commerce Park. Mr. Bach lived a full and happy life and took great pride in sharing his love of paving and business knowledge with his sons. He was of great influence to both David, Sr. and Garry, Jr., and helped them to start their own successful paving companies in Michigan and Florida. He tremendously enjoyed going out on jobs with them whenever he could. He spent his free time hunting moose and big game in Newfoundland with David Sr, going out to eat with Garry Jr, and hunting deals at yard sales and flea markets with his wife and daughters. He also thoroughly enjoyed spending time with and spoiling his grandchildren.
