Gale spent 3 years at Bowling Green State University as a music-major and helped in the development of a fledgling jazz minor program at BGSU. Gale played with several jazz groups in his career and worked creating radio/TV music soundtrack.
Gale shared a loving partnership with fiancée Ms. Janell Zuber, also of Ft. Wayne. Gale has one brother, Thomas D. Beery (Michelle) of Miamisburg, OH. He has a niece,
Dr. Lauren Beery-Busche (Eric) of Lebanon, OH. He also has a sister in Lima, OH.
