He was born and raised in Lewiston, son of the late Alfred A. and Gladys M. (Chamberlain) Gagnon. He joined the Air Force in 1961 and served five years as a materials specialist. After the military he lived in Michigan, Ohio and Pennsylvania before settling back in his hometown of Lewiston. He started his civilian career in sales and customer service, but soon found that he loved being on the road and pursued a career as a CDL truck driver. His two “retirement” jobs were highlights of his career; being the Great Falls Plaza “hot dog man” and being a school bus driver in Lewiston, which he did for nearly 14 years. He was sincere, quick with a smile and friendly greeting, and truly enjoyed the camaraderie of his friends and co-workers. He made everyone feel like family, as the guys at Kinard trucking in York, Pa., and Hudson Bus Lines in Lewiston, would gladly tell you.Due to current circumstances a celebration of life will be held at a future date.
