Egidio Mario Didone

Egidio Mario Didone December 8, 1928 - August 7, 2020
It is with great sadness that Egidio passed away on August 7, 2020 at Extendicare Halton Hills after a long battle with Parkinson's disease and a recent bout with Pneumonia. Born in the Comune Di Resana in the Province of Treviso, Italy on December 8, 1928. Egidio came to Canada with his parents at the young age of 3 years. The family moved to Timmins, Ontario where they established permanent Canadian roots. Egidio left home and moved to Chatham, Ontario at a young age to pursue a hockey career, met his wife and started a family of his own. Egidio's 91 years were very full, working for over 40 years in sales with Caterpillar (Crothers) after a successful hockey career with the Chatham Maroons and Wallaceburg Hornets. Egidio met Etta Mae Graham in 1951 and they were married on July 9, 1954. Egidio leaves his wife of over 56 years Etta Mae and his sister Lena, children Lori (predeceased), Brian, David, Diane, Michael and Terri; grandchildren Adam, Jamie, Arielle, Alex, Nicholas, Francesca, Brianna, Courtney, Jeffrey, Lindsay, Jessica, Mathew, Lisa, Benjamin, Charlie, Nicolette, Tatiana and 5 great-grandchildren Oscar, Elijah, Max, Kennedy and Helena. We will all miss Egidio but are comforted knowing that he lived a long, full and happy life. A small private service will be held with immediate family members.
