Georgia legal community mourns loss of Gary Bunch
Times-Georgian, Carrollton
To the Editor:
On behalf of the State Bar of Georgia, I would like to express condolences to the family, colleagues and many friends of Carrollton resident and longtime Georgia attorney Gary P. Bunch on his passing at the age of 78.
A member of the Georgia Bar since 1981, Mr. Bunch began his legal career practicing law in New York City and teaching law at Syracuse University before moving to Atlanta to join the Gambrell & Russell Law Firm as a civil litigator. In 1987, he opened his own practice and also served as an adjunct professor at Emory University.
He was appointed by the Supreme Court of Georgia to the Committee on Legal Education and the Commission on Children, Marriage and Family Law, received the State Bar of Georgia Criminal Case of the Year Award and was recognized by the NAACP many times for his work helping the underserved. He also served his country as an Army medic during the Vietnam War.
Gary Bunch’s exemplary career of service is an inspiration to all Georgia lawyers. We are appreciative of his many generous contributions to the legal system in our state. He will be missed and fondly remembered.
Sincerely,
Ivy N. Cadle
President, State Bar of Georgia
