Personal Life
In 1982 Gillies and three teammates — Bob Nystrom, Wayne Merrick, and Gordie Lane — stripped to their briefs in the February issue of Penthouse magazine for a fashion layout promoting the latest in men's underwear.
Gillies' nephew Colton currently plays for the Columbus Blue Jackets.
He is the father-in-law to his former teammates son, and current editor of The Backhand Shelf Justin Bourne.
Despite having the same last name and playing for the same team, Clark Gillies is not related to Islanders enforcer Trevor Gillies.

Famous quotes containing the words personal and/or life:
“The pursuit of Fashion is the attempt of the middle class to co-opt tragedy. In adopting the clothing, speech, and personal habits of those in straitened, dangerous, or pitiful circumstances, the middle class seeks to have what it feels to be the exigent and nonequivocal experiences had by those it emulates.”
—David Mamet (b. 1947)
“The moment one accosts a stranger or is accosted by him is above all in this life the moment of drama.... Whoever we meet watches us intently at the quick, strange moment of meeting, to see whether we are disposed to be friendly.”
—Haniel Long (1888–1956)
