Dear Claudia,
We are so sorry to hear of the passing of your dear husband. Undrea sent me the obituary. It was heartwarming to know that all of his children were Pallbearers!
I was so proud to be their teacher.
Addison was such a quiet reserved person who was so personable.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

I was young when I met Addison Deallie but he left a huge positive impression on me. He was one of those people I looked up to as a kid and asked about every so often after I moved away. He was a kind man. He will be missed.

I just wanted to say thank you for the support over the years. It may have seemed like nothing but it was very much something to me and the rest of us.
Thanks

Since I stayed over with Addia, I was able to meet and have this amazing man as a great influence in my life. He is the hardest working man I have ever met. My favorite memory of him is when he called me funny face, not because I was funny looking, but because I was always smiling. He made sure I knew this. I will forever celebrate Addison. We only get to live this life, in this way once. He made the best of it and soon we will see him again. Death is not the end, Jesus will return with many amazing people to fill up this earth as it should have been from the beginning. We all know Addison is one of those amazing people.

I met my Uncle Addison for the first time when he came to see his sister Doslyn Morin my mom in Florida some years ago. I was at work that day and it was my birthday. He and Claudia surprised me at work. I never forgot that day. He said I heard you turned 50 today so here is $50, off course I wasn’t 50 yet, but I loved his sense of humor. I will cherish the memories of my visits with him during the times he vacationed in Florida forever. My uncle had a heart of gold. Gone but will never be forgotten. May your soul Rest In Perfect Peace until we meet again at heavens gate.

Mr. DeAllie always had something encouraging and funny to say. He was a very knowledgeable man and also very considerate. He did so much to help others. One of our favorite memories is when he picked up a guitar and began to play and sing! The DeAllies are such a wonderful family. We love you all and are praying for you.

The lost of Addison has left us all in dismay, we never anticipated an active man like him would leave us like this. His time with us was lived to the fullest and there are no regrets.
Addison have left us with wonderful memories especially our 2018 vacation together in Branson.
May God rest his soul in peace and the angels to always be there with both of you.

Addison was one of sweetest and most ornery people I knew. Visiting with him was always a delight. At Independence camp meeting 2019 he told me that I needed to come and visit the church in Wichita again so he could hear me play my fiddle again. Looking forward to singing in heaven with him. Love you Addison, you will be missed.

Daddy,
It was an honor to call you my dad. You were the perfect man in my eyes and you always will be. I’ve never seen you be unkind to anyone my whole life. If anything was broken, I knew you could fix it! You were kind, respectful, hardworking, humble, compassionate, a great husband to mommy, and a great dad. You taught me what a man is and I’ll forever be grateful to you. I love you daddy ♥️ Until we meet again!

After two agonizing days punctuated by spells of tears and thinking of memorable moments, hours and days with Addison; and, considering the risk of travel in the time of covid-19, I've decided to not attend the service for Addison. This is one of the most difficult decisions I will ever make. I will for days,months and years to come , relive knowing Addison. He meant a lot more to me than I previously realized.
Addison lived a faith based life. I can be understandably criticize for saying he is a Christian par excellence, though he would not described himself thusly. His American parents have welcome him with hugs and kisses, they loved him so.
We can memorialize Addison in our relations and treatment of other homo sapiens we encounter throughout the rest of our lives.
I mourn his passing not in black but in white, representing his spiritual journey.
My condolences to his family. I know what he meant to you.
I will miss him forever.

Addison, your untimely passing has left us with a feeling of abandonment . You really could have waited just a little bit to make that trip.
We were so lucky to have known the best of you, but will miss you so very very much.
Addia and Claudia, your loss is so great, that there are no words to ease your pain. Just hold him in your hearts and he will always be there.
