Gary Locatelli

Gary S. Locatelli is best known to New York’s Capital Region audiences as Uncle Vito on PYX 106 and television’s Ranger Danger. A storyteller, broadcaster, musician, and entertainer, he spent three decades connecting with audiences through humor, creativity, and unforgettable characters.

In his first book, The Guy Behind the Glasses, Gary shares the life behind those familiar personalities—from growing up in Johnstown, New York, to family, music, radio, television, wrestling, and fatherhood. With humor, honesty, and heart, he tells the stories of the people and experiences that shaped him.

Gary enjoys birdwatching, music, and spending time with his wife, Claudia, their dog, Wrigley, their parrot, Jack, and the many feathered visitors to their backyard.
