During the same year, on Thanksgiving Day, he met Virginia K Johnson. They were married on 12/23/1980. They welcomed their son William Harold Anderson on 01/28/1982.

In 1985 he moved the family to Minnesota where he worked again with Gary as an over-the-road truck driver. In the 90's the family moved to CA to take care of Gayle's mother-in-law. During this time in his life, Gayle started a career in private security and law enforcement. After the passing of his mother-in-law, he moved the family to Helena MT where he worked as security for the state capital complex before resigning and going to work for the Security Armored Express as an armed guard. 7 Years later Gayle moved the family back to MN where he worked as a dairyman while worked at the co-op in Perham. During the 2000's Gayle made one more big move back to WY where he worked in the oil and gas industry for about a year.
