Fay was born on June 8, 1927 in Elizabeth, New Jersey, where he graduated from St. Patrick High School. He enlisted in the United States Navy where he served as part of an Underwater Demolition Team. After completing his military service, Fay attended Seton Hall University where he majored in political history and science, and earned both a bachelor's and a master's. He taught history and economics at Linden High School for 20 years, starting in 1958.〔Martin, Douglas. ("John J.
