He was born on April 25, 1933, a son of Josephine and Albany Gallant.
Dick served in the US Navy and was a Foreman at Boise Cascade for many years.
He also was a runner and ran and completed the Boston Marathon.
Dick was an avid fly fisherman; but most of all, he was a great Dad and was very proud of his three sons.
He is survived by his wife of 57 years, Jean (Chabot) Gallant, Sons; Todd of Rumford, Scott and Carol (their children; Cassadie, Justin, Laurie, and Stephanie) of Westbrook, Jeff and wife Sara (their children; Amanda and Michael), a sister Ann of Canada, brothers; Fred of Florida, Gerald of Rumford, and Bill of Peru.
