WEST SENECA, N.Y. SPCA Serving Erie County President and CEO Gary Willoughby is leaving the company to move to Fort Myers, Florida. The SPCA Board of Directors made the announcement on Tuesday.
Willoughby is moving to take care of ageing relatives and will lead the Gulf Coast Humane Society in Fort Myers.
“In many ways, this move brings me back to my home,” Willoughby said. “My family moved to the Fort Myers area when I was eight years old, but other members of our family have lived there since the 1950s. We adopted two cats from the Gulf Coast Humane Society in 1979, in fact, and I’ve watched the organization grow and thrive as the community grew.”
