Henry Adderley Obituary
Harry to friends and loved ones, was born in Vancouver, British Columbia, son of Eleanor Magnussen and Arnold Adderley. He is survived by his brother Bryan and sister Margaret Bathy. He was a devoted father to Bryan, Bob, Jacqueline and David. He was a fun-loving grandpa to Jasmyn, Gregory, Marc, Thomas, Cecily, Joshua, Emma, Zenib and Heather and great-grandfather to Zackery and Travis.
Harry was an avid sailor who enjoyed introducing others to the Kanata Sailing Club of which he was a founding member, past commodore and lifelong member. Harry completed his chemistry degree at UBC and his post graduate studies at Alcan's International Management Institute in Geneva.
Harry travelled widely and his career included Alcan, Babcock & Wilcox, Statistics Canada and the Department of Veterans Affairs.
Harry was a lifelong learner, woodworker, tinkerer, and creator of artistic welded sculptures. Olga will be hosting a celebration of Harry's life in late June in Ottawa. The family would welcome donations in Harry's name to Parkinson Canada.

Harry and Olga are truly second parents to me and also cherished friends throughout my life, well into my middle age. Fun loving, full of joie de vivre! I think of you often and thank them for venturing to Newfoundland for my wedding and being there for my kids when we lost a close family member. Exceptional loss for all who were fortunate enough to know this right, warm man!The Vickers send their love to Olga and my best childhood chum Jaqueline.

My sincerest condolences to Olga and all of Harry's family. Harry was a fine man, a funny man, and well liked by many. He gave selflessly and asked for nothing in return except to see joy in others.

My sympathy goes out to the Adderley family during your time of grief. A life well lived will surely be missed by many. As the days and weeks pass and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love of family and friends. I hope the words at 1 Thessalonians 4:13,14 can serve as a hope to you all.
