Felice Addesa

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved Felice Addesa. Born on January 12, 1932, in Avellino, Italy, Felice passed away peacefully on September 14, 2024, in Toronto, Ontario, at the age of 92.

Felice is now reunited in Heaven with his cherished wife, Nicolina Addesa, and his brother and Euplio (Antonietta). He was a devoted father to Vincenzo and Mario (Angela), and a loving Nonno to Felicia (Steven), Angelina (Francis), Nicolette (Victor), RoseMarie (David), and Michelle. He was also a proud Bisnonno to Xania, Sofia, Gabriella, Isabella, Olivia, and Giuliana. Felice will be deeply missed by his surviving siblings, Mario (Chiara),Filomena, Carmelina and Harry. He was admired and loved by his many nieces, nephews, extended family, and dear friends.

Felice had a kind heart and a warm smile that could light up any room. His compassion, wisdom and generosity touched everyone who knew him. He had a deep love for Italian music and took great pride in his garden, where he spent many joyful hours cultivating vegetables and making his own wine. Sundays were especially meaningful to Felice, as he brought his family together over homemade meals, creating cherished memories around the lunch table.

While we will miss him deeply, we take comfort in knowing that he is finally at peace. His memory will live on through the stories we share for generations to come, a lasting legacy of his kindness and love.

In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests that donations be made in memory of Felice Addesa to the Alzheimer’s Society Toronto.
