Born in Colebrook, NH on Feb 27th, 1934 he was the son of Leonard and Ethel (Eastman) Gould.
After serving two years in the US Army in Germany, Sonny became a partner with his father-in-law on their dairy farm. He won several awards during his 20 years as a successful farmer, including a cow who set an all time state record for milk production in a single year. In 1978, Sonny and his wife Jean built a new Agway store in Gilford, NH which they operated together until selling the business to their partner and son in 1986. Now in semi-retirement, he launched yet another successful business which became one of the larger landscaping companies in central NH. Upon his full retirement, Sonny and his wife Bettie enjoyed living in the warm weather of Florida. Known for his hard work in any endeavor, in his heart he was always a dairy farmer first.
