Plinio Pidutti Obituary
The family will receive friends from 5 to 7 p.m. Friday at Robert J. Reid and Sons Funeral Home, 309 Johnson Street, Kingston, Ontario, and will continue from noon to 1 p.m. Saturday.
A member of the Canadian P.G.A., Charlie's career spans more than 50 years, beginning as a caddy and extending to a greenskeeper and golf professional. His career began as a golf pro at Belleville, Kingston and Manotick, Canada. In 1959, he and his family moved to Bismarck where he accepted a position as greenskeeper and later a golf pro at Apple Creek Country Club, a career that lasted 20 years until his return to Kingston in 1979.
Shortly afterwards, he accepted a position as the greenskeeper at Miles City Golf Course in Miles City, Mont. After the death of his beloved wife, Pearl, in Kingston in October 1979, he returned to Miles City until 1982. Afterwards, he returned to Kingston to live at 21 Baiden Street.
Charlie continued his career in golf by providing golf lessons and working part-time in the pro shop at Gananoque Golf Club. In 1998, Charlie was recognized by the Canadian P.G.A. in Ottawa for 50 years of outstanding professional membership and service. Charlie's contribution to golf was also recognized locally with honourary memberships at Ganahoque Golf Club and Cataraqui Golf and Country Club. Charlie experienced both a quantity and quality of life.
Charlies is survived by his son, Charles, and his wife, Karen, Pennellville, N.Y.; his daughter, Sandra, and her husband, Mark Dove, St. Marys, Ohio; his nieces, Sarah and Rachel, both of St. Marys; his stepson, Max Latchford, and his wife, Linda, Surrey, British Columbia, Canada; his brothers, Albert Fabbri, Kingston, and Mario Fabbri, Sarnia; and his sisters, Alda Pidutti, Ottawa, Canada, and Enis Pidutti, Kingston.

Hi! I was so sad to see that Charlie has passed away. As a young girl, growing up in Bismarck, my family was fortunate to belong to Apple Creek Country Club, and during the summer, every Thursday we would board a school bus and go to the Country Club, where Charlie would give us golf lessons. He was always so kind and patient, and he taught me things about the game of golf I still use today. I thought a lot of him and appreciated his kind manner.

My sincere condolences on the passing of Charlie. My father, Harry Thompson, who died in 1992, thought the world of Charlie while he was the greenskeeper and pro at Apple Creek CC in Bismarck. I shared those feelings as well, getting to know him well in my years of golf. He was a nice man.
