Gary was born on January 18, 1941, in Nicholson, PA, a son of the late John Richard Seamans and Arlene G. Gow Roberts. He honorably served his country in the United States Army from 1958 until 1962 and then served in the Reserves until 1964. He married the former Phyllis Ann VanDeMark on June 7, 1968.
