Something you may not know about Gary:
In the late 70’s, Gary and Donna (wife) spent a fair amount of time dancing at local disco clubs. Some say it was the chemistry on the dance floor that brought them together, others say it was the wise words of his mother-in-law to be telling them that one day they would be married. Gary has not confirmed or denied those statements, but one thing we know for sure is that he still uses those disco moves at weddings.
