IN MEMORIAM: Gary Millward, a cherished member of Sentia’s sales team for over a decade, sadly passed away recently after a long and courageous battle with cancer. Gary was passionate about IT and during his tenure at Sentia, he excelled in designing and delivering high value IT solutions and services to help clients address and solve complex business problems.

Outside of the office, he had a deep passion for boating and spending quality time with his family and beloved dog, Bentley.

He will be fondly remembered as an integral member of Sentia’s family. If desired, memorial donations to the Hospital for Sick Children (Sick Kids) can be made on behalf of his family.
