He served as a member of the Minnesota National Guard, Springfield's City Treasurer, American Legion, School Board, and was a volunteer fireman for 22 years. Gary was an avid outdoorsman who enjoyed hunting, fishing, gardening, and especially golfing. If Gary wasn't at home, he could probably be found on the golf course. He served as a director of the Minnesota Golf Association (MGA) for 9 years. Another passion of his was playing cards, as he was a bridge club member for many years. Gary was currently a member of St. John's Lutheran Church and the Springfield Golf Club.

Gary's wife, children, and grandchildren were the loves of his life; he never missed his kids' sporting events, and always looked forward to a visit from his grandkids. He will be deeply missed by all of them.
