Passed away peacefully at home on February 5, 2024. Bill was predeceased by his partner of over 25 years Antonie, brother Fred, and parents Jeanne and Frederick. He is survived by his sister-in-law Barbara, niece Susan, and nephews Robert (Michelle) and Frederick (Robin).
Bill was born in Vancouver and grew up in Ruskin and Mission City, before the family relocated to Vancouver in 1950. The Addison family spent parts of the summer at Horseshoe Bay. Bill worked for many years at CBC Vancouver, and he loved the game of baseball. His hobbies included acting and gardening. He enjoyed his time as a volunteer at VanDusen Botanical Garden.
A special thank you to Dr. Rusnak, Joti and the care givers from the Home-ViVE program at Vancouver Coastal Health, the Red Cross, as well as the wonderful volunteers at Meals on Wheels. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the BC Cancer Foundation.
