Alfred Joseph Gagne's Obituary
Alfred “Sonny” J. Gagne, 90, longtime resident of Lawrence passed away peacefully on July 8, 2019 at the Hyder Family Hospice House in Dover, NH. Born to the late Joseph and Anita (Burgeie) Gagne on July 5, 1929 in Lawrence, he graduated from Central Catholic High School with the Class of 1947. Like so many of his generation, Sonny served honorably in the US Army during the Korean War. After his discharge from the service, he married his sweetheart in 1954 and settled in Lawrence to raise his family. Sonny worked for many years as a lineman for Mass Electric until his retirement. He was a member of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers and was also a member of the Knights Of Columbus. Sonny was the beloved patriarch of his family, who always loved to entertain, enjoyed trips to Mohican Sun and going to the track. He touched many lives in many different circles and will fondly be loved, cherished and missed by all.
Sonny is survived by his two sons; Mark Gagne and his wife Julie of Rye, NH, and Charles Gagne and his wife Lisa of Sturry, TX. He was the proud grandfather to his five grandchildren and the beloved great-grandfather of one. Sonny is survived by one sister and is the dear and cherished uncle to his many nieces and nephews, especially of those from Canada. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his cherished bride, Irene V. (McCarthy) Gagne in 2011, his son Richard M. Gagne in 2014 and two of his sisters.
