Would any one know what the initials ; G.A.R.I. beside a persons name would mean? Margrett

Margrett, I was given the following list of initials, but G.A.R.I. does not appear. If you find out, please let us know. Were the initials used in probate papers, or otherwise?

This is I believe pertaining to a business. The person owned a business and the letter's G.A.R.I. followed his name. [ex. John Doe G.A.R.I.] This is all I have.
