It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Eddy McFadgen (Edward Gregory McFadgen), on January 18th, 2023 at the West Parry Sound Health Centre, at the age of 90.
Beloved husband of the late Georgie McFadgen (A. Georgina McDonald) for 66 years. Eddy was a devoted father to Jo-Anne Stanton (Bill); Cathy Goodfellow (Rick); and Barb Kerr (Chuck) and was predeceased by his son Edward and his grandson, Joe Goodfellow. Lovingly remembered by his grandchildren, Heather and Christopher Watson, Edward (Krissy) Goodfellow, Matthew Kerr (Jemma Wolfe), and Shawn Kerr (Claire Henry). Also remembered by his great grandchildren, Amaya, Ryah, and Crue Goodfellow; and Alden and Rowan Wolfe Kerr. Fondly remembered by his sister, Dolores Conahan and his close friend, Nancy Loch.
Family was the most important thing to Eddy, spending time with them, and connecting by phone and FaceTime in abundance. This was evident in the strength he received through the many calls and visits he received during his last days.
Eddy began his journey in Glace Bay, Cape Breton Island where he met his wife, Georgie. After they married, they moved to Ontario where he joined the OPP, starting his career as a Constable in London. He had postings in Glencoe, Bancroft, Sharbot Lake, Parry Sound, North Bay, Chatham, and North Bay again. He progressed through the ranks of the OPP finishing his 35-year career as Superintendent.
In addition to his passion for his career with the OPP, he also had a passion for the game of golf. He was a long-time member of the Parry Sound Golf & Country Club and served on the Board, including as President for many years.
He will be greatly missed by all who knew him. A great East Coast celebration of Eddy’s life will be held in the spring.
In lieu of flowers, donations to the West Parry Sound Health Center or Junior Golf at Parry Sound Golf & Country Club are appreciated.
