Gillett, a native of Belgian was born during WWII to a Youngstown soldier, Gilbert Stephens. Stephens had wanted to bring Gillett and his mother back to the U.S. but Gillet's maternal grandmother would not allow it. Gillet discovered the identity of his father 7 years ago but was never able to meet him as he passed away in 1990.
