Edward Earl Doidge September 30, 1928 July 18, 2012 It is with great sadness we announce the passing of Edward “Eddy” Doidge on July 18, 2012 at the age of 84 years. Eddy was born in Biggar, Sask. on September 30, 1928 and farmed near Leney, Sask. until he moved into Perdue, Sask. where he lived and continued to farm until he met his lovely wife, Seena, at a Minus One Dance in Biggar. The two quickly fell in love and within a year of courting they were married on February 15, 1986. They lived a wonderful life ¿lled with dancing, singing, laughter and love until Seena’s passing in 2008. Eddy continued to live in Biggar and later moved to Parkville Manor in Saskatoon, Sask. for the winters to be closer to his family. With failing health due to a stroke and a broken hip, he moved to Oliver Lodge where he lived for the remainder of his life. Eddy had a wonderful life, farming was his passion and growing up on the farm as an only child he had plenty of time to be himself, creating, inventing, playing with his dog Scamp, and helping his father on the farm with their team of horses. He was a believer that you never bought ‘anything’ unless there was no possible way to make it no matter what it was and he never threw ‘anything’ out. He built, ¿xed or re-used everything possible. Where there was a will there was a way and Eddy will be remembered for the genius, brilliant and amazing man that he was. He built incredible projects from scratch materials including a photo camera, air fans, machinery parts, wood lathe and so much more. He was an artist in many aspects from pencil drawings to paintings; he was creative with wood no matter what he was building, anything from cabinets to ornaments, incorporating several types of wood into one magni¿cent piece, he etched and carved wildlife, Àowers, tools, wine racks, and ornaments. He made cars, trucks and steam engines out of scrap metal and tin. Of all the things over the years that Eddy invented and created; one of his most proud accomplishments was building and Àying a gyrocopter - this plane was his pride and joy and he spoke about it to his very last days. Another was a canoe he built in his earlier years. It was a fun event for him and his dog Scamp and in later years Eddy and his wife enjoyed a ride or two on the lake beside his farmhouse. He kept his ¿rst and only peddle bike from the 1940’s together with the spare parts and tire pump; he saved his toys still in boxes from when he was a boy. He loved playing softball and his glove is still with him now. He took great care of all his possessions and creations. With the marriage to Seena, Eddy became a husband, father, father-in-law, grandfather and great-grandfather all at once; he often commented on how proud he was of this and he took on these roles with ease and love. He felt great pride for his family,
OBITUARIES never missing a family gathering no matter what the occasion. Music was a huge part of Eddy’s life, whether he was listening to old time, western or Irish music or playing the violin, guitar or harmonica. He and his wife Seena would attend dances, drive home late at night and continue to play their own music, singing and dancing around the living room until the wee hours in the morning. When farming became too much work Grandpa took great pride in gardening; 600 hills of potatoes one year! He loved sharing the harvest of his hard work with family. We will miss his beet relish…yum! He never complained, never put himself ¿rst, things were always ‘good’ in his world and if anything was out of sorts his popular saving of ‘oh golly’ could be heard. He was a great listener and an incredible role model for his family; he cared so deeply for everyone’s well being and often shared his own wonderful stories and life adventures. Eddy will be remembered for his kind heart, his brilliant mind, his love for family and the many, many talents he possessed. He was one of a kind and so amazing in every aspect of his life. He will be sadly missed by his step-children, Marlene (Bill) Jeffreys of Saskatoon, Sask. and Leona Bilinski of Saskatoon, Sask.; his grandchildren, Debbie Jeffreys (Gary Siemens) and his daughter, Ashley Antoniuk; Jamie Jeffreys (Bev Larsen) and her children, Chad Krause and Sara Krause (Nathan); Chad Bilinski (Chalene Bagnall) and her son, Keegan; Mark Bilinski (Suzanne Morovic); greatgrandchildren, Lauren Besse and Stephanie Besse. Eddy was predeceased by his mother and father, Peggy and Earl Doidge; his lovely wife and love of his life, Seena; and his son-in-law, Larry Bilinski.
