First elected in a by-election in 1962, he went on to win general elections in 1963, 1967, 1971, 1975 and 1977 and he served in the 26th, 27th, 28th, 29th, 30th and the 31st Legislative Assemblies of Ontario.[2] Gaunt was born in West Wawanosh Township to a farming family. He won the 1955 Queen Guineas beef award at the Royal Agricultural Winter Fair in Toronto. A year later, he graduated from the Ontario Agricultural College in Guelph and began poultry farming.[3] In 1962, the death of John William Hanna, the member for Huron-Bruce, led to a by-election in which Gaunt ran and won. He subsequently won four more elections, remaining in office for a total of 19 years.[3] Gaunt was elected to the Agriculture Hall of Fame in 2005. He died in London, Ontario on March 31, 2009, at the age of 73.[3] Gaunt is buried in the Wingham Cemetery, Wingham, Ontario.
