Peacefully at Wellington Terrace LTC in Fergus on Friday, May 24, 2024, Eduard (Eddie) Gardilcic passed in his 99th year. Eddie loved spending time with his family, fishing at the cottage and winters in Florida. Born in Split, Yugoslavia on July 14, 1925, he immigrated to Canada in 1961 joining his brother George in Sudbury. In 1963 his wife and son arrived in Canada to be with Eddie. Eddie was a WWII veteran and in the 1950’s was an avid kayaker. He represented his club (Ivo Lola Ribar) and was the Yugoslavian Champion for several years. Eddie and his beloved late wife Angela were married over 73 years. Dearest father of Ivan and Lynne Gardilcic of Caledon East, awesome grandfather to Diane Gardilcic of Uxbridge, and Dave Gardilcic and his wife Mattie of Caledon East. Proud great-grandfather of Cameron and Andrew. He has left a space in our hearts. May he rest peacefully in eternity until we meet again.
Funeral service will be held in the chapel of the Egan Funeral Home, 203 Queen Street S. (Hwy. 50) Bolton (905-857-2213) on Friday morning, May 31 at 11 o’clock, followed by a luncheon reception upstairs at the funeral home. Interment will follow at Park Lawn Cemetery in Etobicoke for those who wish to attend.

I fondly remember Grandpa Eddie at Gardilcic Family gatherings. He was especially fun making us all laugh with his antics at the Christmas gift exchange. He will be greatly missed. Rest in the light Grandpa Eddie. ❤️❤️

I have such wonderful memories of Grampa growing up, especially at the cottage. He was always interested in what the trouble the girls were up to, lol as Gramma cooked all morning afternoon and evening in the kitchen. Whenever we’d call Grampa he’d lovingly respond in his Yugoslavian accent behind his newspaper, “Yaaaas please”. He gave the best hugs and had the most loving eyes. We love you Grampa, it warms my heart he’s back in the loving arms of Gramma once again. Sending love to the hearts of Ivan, Lynne, Diane and David and family.
