Obituary of Eddie Moldowan

MOLDOWAN - Ed Moldowan was born on May 18, 1931 in the Insinger District. He was the first of three children born to Nick and Dora (Petrushak) Moldowan. In 1963 Ed met Dorothy Young. They raised a family of five children, 4 boys and 1 girl. Ed worked at various jobs such as Northern Motors Haas Datsun in Yorkton as well as jobs in Canora and Regina. Ed and Dorothy ran a restaurant in Saltcoats and Melville as well. For a brief time Ed & Dorothy lived in Saskatoon with their first born Bill. They then moved back to Yorkton to be closer to family where Ernie, Kevin, Bev and Sheldon were born. Together they lived in Yorkton, Canora, Theodore and Regina. Once the kids were grown and on their own, Ed and Dorothy moved to Regina. After Dorothy's passing in 2010 Ed moved back to Yorkton where he resided at Queen Elizabeth Court until his passing. Ed enjoyed the visits and phone calls from his family. He loved it when they would pick him up and take him for coffee. He made a daily trip to the mall to have a morning coffee with his friends and before coming home he had his soup and sandwich. He then would return home so he wouldn't miss out on pool or his shuffleboard game with his good friend Gordon. Ed enjoyed attending the many functions at Queen Elizabeth Court, never missing one. He loved Ukrainian Music and learned to play the accordion and violin, playing with different bands for weddings and dances. He never missed listening to the Saturday night get together or watching the Ukrainian Music Show on Access TV on Friday nights. Ed's greatest joy was spending time with his children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. Ed leaves to mourn his passing, sons Bill (Tina) of Regina, Ernie (Gina) of Regina, Kevin (Lori) of Edmonton; daughter Bev (Ken) of Springside; son Sheldon (Jacky) of Buchanan; grandchildren Jordan, Blake, Kenneth, Jonathan, Travis, James, Tylor, Krystal, Miranda, Joseph, Janella, Jasmin, CJ and Brandon; great-grandchildren Violet, Ezra, Savannah, Adrian, Kaylee, Hayden, Tessa, Grady, William, Charles, Tia, Addalyn, Hannah, Brantley, Sidney and Brodi; sisters in law Kathy, Phyllis, Hazel and Rita; brothers in law Floyd (Lorraine) and Richard (Marilyn); along with many nieces and nephews.
