He grew up on the Glenn homestead near Milestone, Sask. where he completed his elementary and high school education. His life was filled with music from the beginning and he completed his music teacher degree from the Royal Conservatory of Music in 1949. After high school, he attended York University in Toronto completing an Arts Degree. This was followed by completion of his Doctor of Chiropractic from the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College in Toronto in 1955. Gale then returned to his prairie roots and joined the Glenn Chiropractic Clinic, in partnership with his brother Ken, in Moose Jaw. He practiced here for 42 years, touching many people’s lives with his skills, his genuine compassion and his heart warming smile.

His world was made complete when he married his soul-mate and best friend, Muriel on August 20, 1969 in Regina.
