Gary worked for the City of Rochester for 29 years and retired in 2007. He continues to work part time driving semi for a local farmer. The Hoeft family continue to live just a few miles south of the church on Hwy 63. They are active in school activites; they are also active in 4-H and enjoy horses and gardening.
