Born in Cowansville, QC, he was the son of the late Homer and Olive (Rychard) Sargent.

Gary’s career with Bell Canada began in Quebec where he was later transferred to Bathurst and retired with over 40 years of service. Gary was a very kind person & would help anyone in need. He enjoyed spending time with Lucy and her extended family.
