Mr. Anthony Thorburn Addis

Tony passed away peacefully and surrounded by loved ones at the Rosedale Hospice in Calgary, Alberta at the age of 68 years. Tony had an amazing passion for life and this was evident each day that he lived. He had a great love for sailing and would share many exciting stories of his adventures at sea. He was one of the greatest storytellers and could captivate any audience, especially over a pint of Keith’s at the pub. Tony’s smile was permanent and infectious, as was his laugh. He had a love for the Rocky Mountains and spent many winters racing his daughters down the slopes on his skis. Early in his career, Tony travelled the world working as a civil construction engineer. Eventually he settled in Canada working as the Town Engineer in Stellarton. Tony enjoyed and took pride in his work and everything he did. He made his home in Nova Scotia where he loved to work on his house and in his garden. Tony was an adoring and devoted father and is lovingly remembered by his two daughters and their husbands Minnie (Rod) and Lucy (Jesse), granddaughter Emily and another grandchild due to arrive in July. His joyful, kind, humorous, and adventurous spirit will live on in his children and grandchildren. He will be missed dearly by many other friends and family. A private service will be held.
