He was born on June 6, 1958, to Donald Flom and Cora (Fugate) Gavigan in Marinette. He began working at age 4, when he was paid .05/log for each poplar he peeled. This established an early work ethic that continued throughout his life.

He looked forward to attending annual family reunions, where he played horseshoes, cooked his famous chicken, ran the auction, and visited with family.
