It is with great sorrow that we announce the passing of Tony Edgington on Tuesday, May 5, 2020 at the age of 95 years.

Tony was born in England and served as a pilot in World War II. He met Eloise while training in the US and she went to England to marry him at the end of the war. They returned to the US where Tony got his degree from Missouri School of Mines in Rolla. After graduation he started working in the petroleum industry. In 1958 the family moved to Calgary where Tony started working for JC Sproule and Associates. 
After Dr. Sproule's death in 1970 he was appointed president, a position he held until his retirement in 1983.

Tony got great enjoyment from gardening, fishing, skiing and hunting. He enjoyed travelling and socializing with his friends. He will be greatly missed.

Tony is survived by his loving wife of seventy-three years, Eloise, his daughter Rosemary and his son Doug; his grandchildren, Wyatt, Keely, Adrian, Caoimhin, and Quinn; and his great-grandchildren, Darian, Serena, and Eloise. He was predeceased by two sons, Norman and Malcolm.

A Celebration of Tony’s Life will be held at a later date. Condolences, memories and photos may be shared and viewed on Tony’s obituary at www.McInnisandHolloway.com.
