Eldon Aloysius Roberts, 90, of Moncton, passed away peacefully at The Moncton Hospital on Friday August 14, 2026. Born in Kinkora, PEI, he was the son of the late Aloysius ‘Wish’ and Sarah ‘Sadie’ (Sherry) Roberts.

Eldon started his career as a master butter maker in Prince Edward Island and continued his career after relocating to Moncton, at Sunrise Dairy.  He then went on to manage Shell Automatic Car wash on Mountain Road. Over time he found his passion in Antique dealing, owning and operating his own business; Oakland Antiques. He and his wife travelled the Maritimes chasing their love of antique dealing and auctions.

Eldon grew up playing hockey and baseball, originally with his brothers as a pastime, and then as a member of the Freetown Royals hockey team. He and Jean were both members of the Beaver Curling club.

Later in life, he spent most of his time worshiping at church, watching sports, keeping up with friends and family, soaking in the sun and having meals with Nancy, family, and Carol.

He is survived by his daughter, Nancy Roberts (Thomas Landry); three grandchildren: Alina (Dave), Olivier (Brianna) and Ana (Phil); four great-grandchildren: Ella-Jean, Theo, Isaac and Estelle; four siblings: Marina Whelan, George (Linda), Winston and Marcellus; sister-in-law, Marjorie; and his special companion, Carol Patriquin. He will also be remembered by Jean’s children: Linda (Tom), Ron (Betty), Patsy (George), Norma and Heather (Pat); as well as their children and grandchildren.

Eldon was predeceased by his wife, Margaret ‘Jean` (Kelly); one son, Gary; and siblings: Elaine, Marjorie, Ezekiel, Desmond, Regina, Gerard and infant Barbara.

The family would like to thank Eldon’s family doctor, Dr Ross as well as the staff of the palliative care unit of The Moncton Hospital for the wonderful care he received.

The family will receive condolences at Frenette Funeral and Cremation Centre, 88 Church Street, Moncton (506-858-1900) on Tuesday from 1 pm until time of departure (2h45). The funeral mass will be celebrated at St. Augustine’s Roman Catholic Church, 340 Dominion Street, Moncton, on Tuesday August 18 at 3pm. Interment will be at Our Lady of Calvary cemetery in Dieppe.
