Sterling was born in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island on the 19th of September, 1938 and moved to Picton in 1945.

Medal of Courage Award for his outstanding contributions and always giving freely of his time.
Sterling was a keen golfer and sat on the Board of Directors for 35 years and President of the Picton Golf Club for 5 different years. Sterling enjoyed music and dancing and attended many concerts and open mics. He loved baseball and took many trips to watch his favourite ball team, the Blue Jays, but his favourite sport was his daily walks in the Town of Picton covering many kilometres.
Sterling and Darlene spent many cherished hours with their grandchildren, Kyler and Grace,
taking them camping and on various outings and trips.
