The family then moved to Wakefield in 1969, where Gary’s love of baseball grew. He graduated from Wayne High School in 1976. After graduation, he worked for a time as a farm hand before moving to Norfolk to work for Norfolk Iron and Metal. While working there, he met Lori Brandow. The couple was married in 1978 in Coleridge. To this union, three children were born; Nathan, Megan, and Travis.
