Fascinating Riviera Residents

Riviera Residents for 51 Years, the Sargents Live to Give “We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.” When Winston Churchill spoke those words he may as well have been speaking about Dave and Toni Sargent. These long-time Riviera residents are wonderful examples of the saying, “live to give,” and the result has been much joy in their own lives. The Sargents moved to the Riviera in 1962 to be close to Dave’s engineering work at Northrop Corporation and later TRW. The two met in England just the year before when Dave, who was temporarily working at the University of Manchester, looked across a crowded cafeteria and caught eyes with a gorgeous young woman. After a whirlwind romance, Dave and Toni married a few months later in a small

chapel on the site of his alma mater, Cornell University, in New York. In recognition of their extensive volunteer work the Sargents were honored this past summer with the distinguished Jared Sidney Torrance Award, our community’s highest honor. Their list of volunteer achievements is so extensive there isn’t room to list them all here, but we’ve highlighted a few. Dave’s volunteerism started more than 40 years ago when he served as Nation Chief on his son’s YMCA Indian Guides group and then as a local AYSO Division and Regional Commissioner. He joined the Hollywood Riviera Sportsman’s Club in 1977 where he has served in many capacities, including President, and is still an active member. He has also been very involved with the Torrance-South Bay

YMCA. A long-time education advocate, Dave was elected to the TUSD Board of Education in 1983 where he served in many leadership roles, and has also been president of the Torrance Education Foundation board. He is an active member of his church, St. Luke’s Presbyterian, and joins his wife on the Miracle of Living Committee at Torrance Memorial. His most recent civic duties include serving on the Torrance Traffic Commission, including one year as Chair. Dave and Toni often help each other in their respective volunteer capacities, which is a good thing because Toni is just as active in the community as Dave. With three children all attending our local schools, Toni was intensely involved with the PTA for more than 30 years. She has been on the boards of numerous organizations, including the Salvation Army, The Torrance Historical Society and Las Vecinas Women’s Club. She was also the first Chairman of the Torrance Branch of the American Heart Association. Three years ago she was appointed by the Torrance City Council to the Torrance Library Commission and is presently serving her second term as Chair. She is also actively involved with the Riviera Garden Club, and volunteers with the Torrance Farmers Market, which she helped start 29 years ago. Toni and Dave were faced with a devastating tragedy in 1985 when their 19 year old son, Jonathan, committed suicide. Toni channeled her grief into organizing a fund through the Torrance School District for suicide prevention, and has been very involved with suicide prevention presentations and grief counseling in the community. She has appeared on national television and radio speaking about suicide prevention, and is still involved with the Los Angeles Suicide Prevention Center. Three years after her suicide prevention work began, Toni was

appointed by County Supervisor Deane Dana to the Los Angeles County Task Force to Promote Self-Esteem and Personal and Social Responsibility, and was also appointed to the Drug, Alcohol and Tobacco Education Committee. Today, with two grown daughters and two young grandchildren, Dave and Toni are still not the type to sit on the couch and watch the world go by. They travel, exercise, go to the theater and of course, volunteer. “We are the main beneficiaries of all the volunteer work we’ve done over the years,” says Dave. “We’ve met amazing people and had wonderful experiences. It’s given us a richer, fuller life.”
