Gary Bergeron, 74, of Argyle, MN, passed away on Saturday January 9, 2016 peacefully at his home in Argyle.
Gary Paul Bergeron was born October 9, 1941 in Warren, MN, the son of LeRoy and Katherine (Stoltman) Bergeron. He was raised in Argyle where he attended grade school at St. Rose of Lima Catholic School and Argyle High School. He graduated from High School in 1960. On February 27, 1960 he married Colleen Knutson at St. Rose Catholic Church. They moved to Minneapolis, MN where Gary worked at the airport. They returned to Argyle in 1965 to raise their children and continue the farming life, which he loved. Gary was a farmer for his entire life and continued to farm in his retirement. His joy was watching the seed grow into a fruitful crop. Whether it was his crop or a crop he planted for someone else, he poured his whole self into making sure it became fruitful and bountiful.
Gary enjoyed football, hunting, fishing and carpentry. He loved telling silly jokes and retelling the same jokes, while laughing at himself.
