Gary served in the United States Air Force during the Vietnam era, stationed in Florida at a dental clinic. He attended Quincy College and graduated from Suffolk University with a business degree. He worked in customer service for medical research products at New England Nuclear/Perkin Elmer with the National Institute of Health (NIH) being one of his primary accounts.
He was an avid sports fan especially of the New England Patriots and Boston Celtics. He enjoyed playing golf until his back and knees wouldn't allow it anymore.
