Albert Bilodeau Obituary

WINTHROP -- Albert J. Bilodeau, 94, formerly of Northern Avenue, Augusta, died on Feb. 20, 2012, after a long battle with Lewy body dementia. He passed away at his summer home that he enjoyed so much and was surrounded by his family.

He was born in Augusta on June 13, 1917, the son of Hubert and Rose (Duclos) Bilodeau.

Mr. Bilodeau was employed at Bates Manufacturing Co., Edwards Division, in Augusta, for many years. He later established his own business, Bilodeau Motors, in 1942, and worked there for many years. During his retirement, he spent winters in Fort Myers, Fla.

He was a member of St. Augustine Catholic Church and a life member of Le Club Calumet.

He is survived by his wife of 75 years, Merilda (Quirion) Bilodeau.

Mr. Bilodeau is also survived by three daughters, Therese Beaulieu, Louise Pelletier and her husband, Patrick, of Augusta, and Jeannine Nash of Charleston, S.C.; four sons, Norman Bilodeau of Londonderry, N.H., Roland Bilodeau and his wife, Marie, of Fort Myers, Paul Bilodeau and his wife, Judy, of Winthrop, and Richard Bilodeau and his wife, Brenda, of Augusta.

He is also survived by one sister, Pauline Schmidt, of Yakima, Wash.; 19 grandchildren; 21 great-grandchildren; and several nieces, nephews and cousins.

He was predeceased by three sisters, Yvonne Charest, Fernande Bilodeau and Rita Gagnon; and two brothers, Raymond and Victor Bilodeau.

In honor of his wishes, there will be no viewing. Graveside services will be held at a later date at Holy Family Cemetery, Augusta.

We would like to thank HealthReach Hospice for their exceptional care and support of our Dad.

Hi Pa - it's been 4 years since we said goodbye to you. Seems so hard to believe sometimes. I think of you often. On my way home from work the other day there was a beautiful sunset shining on the river as I was crossing the bridge. I immediately thought how you would enjoy seeing it. I went out to get the paper this morning and a pretty cardinal greeted me with a lovely song. When things like this happen it reminds me that you are always with me. I love you, Pa!

June 15, 2015

Happy Birthday Pa! This is number 98,my how time flies. But the many memories you gave us will last forever.I was thinking of the many trips to Boston and all the things we shared together. You thought us well,thank you.Thinking of you especially with Father day next weekend

Jeannine Nash

June 13, 2015

Happy Birthday, Pa! I wish you were here so we could celebrate your special day. Today would be your 98th birthday. I think of you so often when doing certain things. I always keep the flag up in your honor because I remember how important that was to you! You taught us how to work hard and to have pride in everything we do. I will continue to do my best to not let you down. I miss you so much. Happy Birthday! I love you! Jeannine xoxo

Hi Pa: I can't believe its been 3 years already. I want you to know that you left us with many good memories and lessons to live by. There are so many times I go to do something and you are there. The many auctions, all the cars we bought and sold (they were all low mileage back then). All is well here and everyone is getting along and sharing stories about what a good Mom and Dad we had. Thanks for all you did for us.

Roland Bilodeau

June 15, 2014

Happy Fathers Day Pa! There are so many things that I would like to talk to you about but can't, but you taught me well and now I know my way. I didn't always understand or agree but I sure do now. I think you invented tough love and that made us even stronger. You were a Good Man and I miss you Tough Guy more and more every day.

This photo was taken over 50 years ago at the first cottage we had on Cobbossee Lake. Pa you worked so hard to provide for all of us. We have so many happy memories and we gained such a love of being around the water thanks to you. I miss you, Pa! One day we'll be together again and we'll have long talks. I hope there's a lake up in heaven! Happy Father's Day, Pa! I love you! xoxo

Hi Pa, I know today is your Birthday day.
What a day it must of been when you were born. I thank God every day that I had you in my life. What a great Dad you were. You and Mom worked so hard to give us a better life. I have been working at the camp it is so empty without you. I have been using some of your tools to work with, just handling them I feel you are with me. I miss you so much! Thank you for showing me how to work with my hands. I love you Pa. Have a great day with Mom.
I Love You, Paul

Happy Birthday, Pa! Today would be your 97th birthday. I know you didn't like the idea of getting older because you couldn't do everything you could do when you were younger. I wish I could give you a hug and just sit and talk with you. One day we'll be together again and we can catch up. I love you, Pa! Happy Birthday!!! xoxo

Hi Pa,
As you know by now, Mom left us yesterday. We all had a chance to say our goodbyes to our wonderful mother who loved us so much. It was 11:20. I guess she wanted to be with you for 12:00 as know her clock was always set 20 minutes ahead. We will miss you both very much, but it is great to know that now you will spend eternity together. Give her a big hug for us.

Pa - Yesterday was a beautiful "springlike" day - perfect weather to take a walk around my neighborhood after work. As I was walking, I suddenly felt the need to stop and look at the time. Just as I looked at my phone, the time changed to 6:59. That was the exact time we lost you. At that very moment, I felt this warmth come over me. I took that as a sign that you were with me at that very moment. You will live forever in my heart! I think of you often and miss you so much! I love you Pa!???

Correction and apologies on my previous post...I actually got to talk to Mr. Bilodeau last summer while visiting my grandfather, Harry Fotakis, in the Maine State Veterans Home. My grandfather passed this past January. I am sure they both are talking about old times in heaven. May God comfort the Bilodeau family during this difficult time.

Michael Fotakis

March 2, 2012

My condolences to the Bilodeau family on the passing of Mr. Bilodeau. I remember him and Mrs. Bilodeau as the very nice neighbors from the summers I spent at my grandfather's camp in Maine.

To all the dear Bilodeau family,
Alison and I are so sorry to hear of your loss. We will always remember your dad as a warm and friendly patriarch of a very special brood of kids, and grandkids. Memories of Cobbossee lake get togethers at his camp are still present in our minds 30 years later! Our love, thoughts and prayers are with you.

Mike Choate

February 24, 2012

I want to thank you all for sharing Mr. Bilodeau with me. I was fortunate to spend many summers at my grandparent's, the Choate's. I made an incredible friend who was my first boss. He paid me to mow and to trim the road and to pull the weeds over at Paul's. He even let me drive that beautiful old brown dodge pickup truck all over the camproads. Amazing times fishing and boating and cooking white perch on the grill with coffee cakes and butter. Thanks for the great memories. I am so glad I walked over to see him this summer. It was amazing to have my grandfather, Herb Thulen, Albert, and Harry Fotakis sitting at the same table all talking about the good old days. My thoughts are with the family, and thanks for the great times, Albert. REST IN PEACE!
