He subsequently relocated South and continued his financial career with several other businesses.
An avid golfer, Gary was a former member and board director at Skaneateles Country Club, where he was a former club champion and a New York State Amateur participant. He was active in CNY golf, serving as treasurer of the SDGA and tournament chair of the Bud Cooligan cancer tournament for several years. He was also an active supporter of the local SPCA.
