CHARLES EDWARD ADDISON 1918 - 2013 It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Charles "Chuck" Addison on Sunday, August 4, 2013 at Riverview Health Centre with his family by his side. Chuck was predeceased by his wife Eileen (1993) after 51 years of marriage, son John (2003) and sister Thelma (1990). He will be greatly missed by his daughter Cathie (Ken); grandchildren Heather (Pete), Chris (Vickie), Ryan (Paige), Jasmine, Coral (Mike), Devin (Ashtyn) and Ian; great-grandchildren Alexander, Logan and Zach, and daughters-in-law Cindy and Joanne. Chuck received a degree in Business Administration in his hometown of London, ON and directly out of school went to work for Monarch Life Assurance. He took a break from his career path when he joined the R.C.A.F. in Windsor in 1940. He had only been married to Eileen for six months when he was sent overseas and was stationed at Bomber Group in Yorkshire until the end of the war. He was offered a position again with Monarch Life after the war and was relocated to Winnipeg in 1947. He remained with Monarch Life until he took an early retirement in 1982 to start his own business, TACK Business Training which he ran until he was 75 years old. Never one to take life easy, he was active in Toastmasters and also took time to teach oral communication two nights a week at Red River College. The family would like to thank the wonderful staff at Riverview and the exceptional home care nurses that looked after Chuck at home. They were a godsend. Memorial Service to be held at Trinity United Church, 933 Summerside Ave., Winnipeg, Saturday, August 17 at 1:00 p.m. In lieu of flowers, donations may be given to the Manitoba Cancer Society or Riverview Health Centre.
