He was born in San Francisco, CA on August 24th, 1937 to Francis Marion and Lillie May Frary. As a child he lived in Denver, Colorado and Grants Pass, Oregon. He was the youngest of nine children. His brother Jim Frary still lives in Santa Rosa with his wife Sandy.
At the age of 17 he enlisted in the United States Marine Corps where he obtained the rank of sergeant. This gave him the opportunity to visit Japan, Borneo, Ceylon, and the Philippines. He was very proud of the fact that he had climbed to the top of Mount Fuji.
Following his military service he attended City College of San Francisco, obtaining a degree in electrical engineering. In 1961 he married Denise Catherine Anne Hunt and went to work for PG&E in San Francisco. They moved to Ukiah, California in 1969.
